Note: The online Sheerpower tutorials restrict interactive use
of certain features, since misuse could cause the server to become unresponsive
for other users. This section is intended for developers who have installed
Sheerpower locally, where they can safely explore and use all features without
such restrictions.
The Sheerpower REPL — Read–Eval–Print Loop
You can open the Sheerpower console in several ways:
by starting SPDEV, using Visual Studio Code,
or typing sp4gl at the Windows command prompt.
This launches the Sheerpower console, which functions like a
REPL (Read–Eval–Print Loop) found in many other programming
languages.
A REPL is an interactive programming environment where you enter code,
have it evaluated immediately, and see the results printed right away.
In Sheerpower, you can also enter multiple statements on a single line by
separating them with a backslash \.
