*Need some ideas? *Check out some examples from quickscript-extra <https://github.com/Metaxal/quickscript-extra>, and some starter ideas below. <https://github.com/Quickscript-Competiton/July2020entries/blob/master/IDEAS.md#ideas-1> Ideas - csv->sexp or json->sexp (use existing libraries) - sort a list of numbers from the selection - lexer with split string - spell check or spelling fixer (more complicated) - beautify code (using pretty-print for example) - ASCII art <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_art>! - Add Windows and/or Macos support to *git <https://github.com/Metaxal/quickscript-extra/blob/master/scripts/git.rkt>*. (maybe use open-terminal <https://github.com/Metaxal/quickscript-extra/blob/master/scripts/open-terminal.rkt> as a starting point?) - Post the current selection to the Racket Slack. (*tweet <https://github.com/Metaxal/quickscript-extra/blob/master/scripts/tweet.rkt>* is an example of using a web api) - Make a game? (maybe use 2htdp/universe <https://docs.racket-lang.org/teachpack/2htdpuniverse.html> or lux <https://github.com/jeapostrophe/lux>?)
*Looking for more ideas?* What about porting some of emacs scripts <https://github.com/emacs-tw/awesome-emacs> and vim scripts <https://github.com/akrawchyk/awesome-vim>? When you have an idea...Getting started for the impatient <https://docs.racket-lang.org/quickscript/#%28part._.Make_your_own_script__.First_simple_example%29> is a good starting point. <https://github.com/Quickscript-Competiton/July2020entries/blob/master/IDEAS.md#have-fun> *Some existing examples* - *abstract-variable <https://github.com/Metaxal/quickscript-extra/blob/master/scripts/abstract-variable.rkt>*: Create a variable from the selected expression video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgjAZd4eBBY> - *extract-function <https://github.com/Metaxal/quickscript-extra/blob/master/scripts/extract-function.rkt>*: Extracts a block of code out of its context and generates a function and a call video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XinMxDLZ7Zw> - *indent-table <https://github.com/Metaxal/quickscript-extra/blob/master/scripts/indent-table.rkt>*: Indent rows on double-space-separated colums video <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJjVREsgnvA> *Win Prizes and the Admiration of your peers.* Good Luck & Have fun Stephen PS a ROT13 encoder/decoder was the first entry!
