🎯 CattyCode Tips & Tricks

Want to boost your CattyCode skills? Here's a bunch of handy tips and tricks to make your coding smoother, faster, and more fun!


🧠 General Tips

Use "Reload" to Start Fresh

In the Web Editor, press the Reload button to clear your workspace. (Use this instead of manually deleting blocks.)

Restart the App on Desktop

In the Desktop App, close and reopen CattyCode.exe to reset everything. (Don’t browse the files β€” you might delete or move something important!)


🧱 Blocks & Features

Drag Blocks Into Blocks

Blocks like print, repeat, and if expect other blocks inside them β€” drag things in like puzzle pieces!

Print Anything You Want

The print block opens a pop-up message with whatever text you add β€” great for debugging or fun messages!


🧰 Building Smart Code

Loops with Step Counts

The repeat count block can do advanced loops. Try:

  • From 5 to 1 with step -1 (counts down!)
  • From 0 to 10 with step 2 (even numbers!)

Variable i is Pre-made

Inside loops, just drag in the blue i block to use the current loop value β€” no setup needed!


πŸ–₯️ Desktop App Only

Close with Alt + F4 or Task Manager

If you accidentally make an infinite loop without a stop, press Alt + F4 to close the app β€” or use Task Manager if it’s frozen.

Don’t Mess With the Files

Stick to using the CattyCode.exe file. Don’t dig into the folders β€” you could break something by moving/deleting stuff!


πŸ˜„ Fun Stuff to Try

The LOL Machine

Make a repeat Infinity loop that prints "LOL" nonstop! (Use only in Web Editor unless you want a frozen screen! πŸ˜…)

Nested Loops

Try putting a loop inside a loop β€” print "Hello" 3 times, 5 times each!


Stay creative and experiment! CattyCode makes programming playful. πŸ±πŸ’™
