Tynker code blocks have “handles” to help you re-arrange code blocks fast. Drag a block from the left side, you’ll grab the whole code stack below. Drag a block from the right side, you’ll “peel off” just a single block.
Use the Search feature in the Code Palette to find the code block you need fast. Search finds places in your project where you’re already using the search term, too!
Find an unfamiliar block? Click on any block to get a description of its behavior. Click on More Help to get a longer description and code examples you can drag right into your project.
Do you want to share code among different projects? Or just need to try a quick experiment? You can use the Backpack feature to save Actors or Scripts.
Have you ever written so much code that it goes beyond your computer screen’s window? Try the Code Navigator to help you navigate your longest Tynker projects with ease.
Keyboard shortcuts are a great way to increase your productivity. The shortcuts for Undo, Copy, and Paste can be serious time savers!
You can be forgiven if you never noticed the tiny ▶ button next to your current actor’s name at the top of the Coding Area. Click it! Enter new values, press Enter, and watch your actor change immediately in response!
Working with actor properties is like a Tynker superpower, once you get the hang of it.
Several code blocks, like if-else and join, can be expanded. You can use the (+) button to add more branches or inputs. Then use (-) to remove them.
