Arty-fishL scripter

[arty-fishL]

This is a nice little tool for those of you who wish to use jython scripting in Alice, but havent enabled it either because you dont know how, dont want to risk corrupting stuff, or cant be bothered. It also allows you to view the scripts in worlds that other people have added scripting to.

This will also be useful for all existing scripters once I get it fully finished as it is a scripting window with many formatting functions, import scripts, export scripts, shortcuts, useful codes etc.

All you need to do is download this object and import it into any world you want to script in. Then play the world its in, a confirmation message should appear in the Alice title bar. Stop the world, then you should hear a beep and a nice scripting frame will appear.
You can open the scripting window at any time by pressing CTRL+ENTER or from the Alice Tools menu, there should now be a Scripter sub-menu in it, just go to this and click Show Scripter.
If you want to disable the tool for publishing just use the Enable Scripter tickbox in the Scripter sub-menu in the Alice Tools menu.

You can delete this tool from the world and the scripting will still be there and still work fine, you can import it again and continue using it. The file is very small, so it wont really affect your world.

After its been run a scripter sub-menu will appear in the tools menu in the Alice menu bar at the top of the main Alice editor window. It has all the functions of the optional mini-menu. The mini-menu can be enabled from the Tools>Scripter menu. Now you can open the Scripter with CTRL+ENTER.
