EduKATE Project - Sprint 3: Advanced Execution and Feedback Mechanisms

Sprint 3 Goals
In this sprint, our objective is to further enhance the picture block programming system by implementing advanced execution controls, improving loop functionality, and providing comprehensive feedback mechanisms. This will ensure a seamless and intuitive experience for users working in both virtual and physical environments.

Goals List
'''1. Implement Environment-Specific Execution'''
• Develop "Start Virtual" and "Start Physical" blocks for initiating code execution
• Automatically exclude irrelevant blocks based on selected environment

'''2. Enhance Repeat Block Functionality'''
• Implement visual design with left notch and dynamic central container
• Enable nesting of blocks including Repeat Blocks
• Add draggable token for repetition control and "Stop" feature

'''3. Improve User Feedback and Error Handling'''
• Display clear error messages for incomplete/corrupted code
• Provide feedback on block exclusion and command execution

'''4. Implement Execution Logging'''
• Record and display physical robot command strings
• Ensure debugging transparency through execution history

📌 Task Allocation

Task	Description	Assignees
Environment-Specific Execution	Implement "Start Virtual" and "Start Physical" blocks	'''1 Member'''
Repeat Block Enhancement	Enhance visual design, nesting, and control features	'''2 Members'''
User Feedback and Error Handling	Improve error messages and feedback mechanisms	'''1 Member'''
