    Study Notes

    Web Viewer App

    • A web viewer app aggregates websites with user-defined themes or categories.
    • It instantly displays online material, aiding event tracking.
    • Useful for apps focused on specific subjects requiring frequent updates.
    • Benefits include reduced misinformation risk by curating trusted sources and protecting users from phishing attempts.
    • It saves user time and effort in gathering reliable information.

    Events and Properties

    Event Handler Blocks

    • Define app's reaction to specific events (before, during, after).
    • Events can be user-initiated or automated.

    User-Initiated Events

    • Include button clicks, screen touches/moves, and phone tilting.
    • Sensor events: Phone movement triggers orientation sensor, accelerometer, location sensor events.

    Automated Events

    • Examples include sprite collisions with each other or canvas edges.
    • Timer events triggered by the TimerInterval attribute in clock and sprite components (every interval).

    Properties

    • Attributes describing a component's characteristics.
    • Event components have unique sets of properties.

    Example Event and Property Pairs

    • On_Start, Brand
    • On_Break, Model
    • On_Park, Color

    Button Click Event

    • Triggers an "Open Another Screen" command block on button click.

    Screen Navigation

    • Open Another Screen command opens other screens.
    • Screen Name expression block specifies the desired screen.

    Web Access

    • Call Web Viewer command initiates a URL search.
    • Text String expression block accepts a defined URL.

    Data Types

    • Numbers: Used in mathematical operations within Math blocks.
    • Strings: Used for text manipulation (e.g., converting uppercase to lowercase, concatenation).
    • Booleans: Used in logical sequences (true or false) for decision-making.

    Variables

    • Store data with values that can change during code execution.

    Variable Naming Conventions

    • Variable names must not start with numbers or contain spaces. Special characters are also disallowed.

    Operators

    Arithmetic Operators

    • Used for mathematical calculations (+, -, ×, ÷, modulus, exponentiation).
    • Enhance app functionality by enabling numerical manipulation.
