7.4 Conscript (Original)🔗

7.4.1 Goals and Philosophy🔗

conscript aims to provide a simpler and streamlined syntax for writing studies compared to congame. There are two dialects of conscript:

• Plain conscript, which cannot require Racket functions that we are not providing by default.

• conscript/with-require, which allows the user to require.

Since conscript/with-require provides a mechanism to require arbitrary Racket packages, it has essentially the same power as full congame, while conscript can only require a limited set of libraries and functionality of Racket. Due to these limitations, we can allow such studies to be uploaded to a congame server by users with “researcher” accounts, and be run without requiring access to the code repository. This is not possible (out of security concerns) with conscript/with-require studies.

7.4.2 Grammar🔗

7.4.3 How Tos🔗

The Tutorial explains how to use conscript. Here we list some How Tos that are not covered in a terse style, providing examples to achieve a given goal without providing the full study around or explaining how it works.
