Getting Started
Welcome to Code: Terraform.
You are connected to a remote terminal on an uninhabited planet. Your goal is to terraform it, make it livable, by writing code.
Everything on this planet is controlled through code. Systems, sensors, machines: you bring them online by programming them.
Start by typing code in the editor and clicking ▶ to run it.
print("Hello, planet!")The console shows your output and any errors. Sensor readings update as you activate systems.
Looking things up while you code
Section titled “Looking things up while you code”- Hover over any method or function name in your script to see its signature, description, and return type inline.
Cmd+click(macOS) /Ctrl+click(Windows / Linux) on any method, function, or component id opens DOCS and jumps straight to that entry. The block you clicked is briefly highlighted so you can see where you landed.
See the Code Editor page for the full set of editor shortcuts (rename, autocomplete, parameter hints, find/replace, debug stepping).
