Cubelets Programming

Variables

Globals

Globals are variables that can be used anywhere in your code.

block_type

A global variable that contains the type of the Cubelet currently running the program. Can be compared to any of the Cubelet Types listed below.

block_value

Each Cubelet has a block_value, a number 0-255. This number is what determines most blocks behavior. For example, a Drive Cubelet with a block_value of 255 will drive at full speed; if there is an object really close to a Distance Cubelet, it's block value will be close to 255, if there is no object, it's block_value will be 0.

neighbor_data

An immutable object containing information about a Cubelets neighbors. Most Cubelets use neighbor_data when calculating their block_value. At present, neighbor_data is a private object whose data cannot be accessed.

Constants

Constants are variables that can be accessed anywhere in your code, but cannot be modified.

BACKWARD

A constant useful for setting the direction of a motor in a Drive Cubelet or a Rotate Cubelet.

FORWARD

A constant useful for setting the direction of a motor in a Drive Cubelet or a Rotate Cubelet.

Cubelet Types

Cubelet Types are global constants that can be used to programmatically determine the type of a Cubelet.
