python translator

For Spike Prime

• Library of word blocks & python functions
• Use to easily turn word block programs to python

Why I made this translator

Spike Prime transitioned from version 2 to version 3 in the summer of 2023. The python in version 3 is a lot less intuitive than than how it is written in version 2, and there aren't many tutorials on how to write using Spike Prime's python in version 3. So, I created this translator to hopefully allow python to be more accessible to anyone using Spike Prime.

How to use

Word Block	Python
	run_for(port.A, motor.CLOCKWISE, 1, unit.ROTATIONS)
	go_to_absolute_position(port.A, motor.SHORTEST_PATH, 0)
	start_motor(port.A,motor.CLOCKWISE)
	stop_motor(port.A)
	set_speed_to(port.A,75)
	absolute_position(port.A)
	motor_speed(port.A)
	move_for(direction.FORWARD, 10, unit.ROTATIONS)
	move_for(30, 10, unit.ROTATIONS)
	start_moving(direction.FORWARD)
	start_moving(30)
	stop_moving()
	set_movement_speed_to(50)
	set_movement_motors_to(port.A, port.B)
	set_1_motor_rotation_to_cm(17.5)
	play_beep_for_seconds(60, 0.2)
	wait_seconds(1)
	wait_until(lambda: expression)
	is_color(port.A, color.RED)
	get_color(port.A)
More things I have yet to document.

SAMPLE

In the Competition Ready File there is:

• A translation of every lesson
• Translation of the guided mission and a simplified version of it
• If you use a split screen to compare the python guided mission and the lessons in Spike Prime you will see how the translator works
