Drawbox

Question

I was learning JS on an iOS app called Grasshopper.
It used the following code to teach me the basics:

DrawBox ( blue );

And this immediately ran a blue box on the playground, but I can't do that on the playground in solo learn, why is this?

Sorry if this is a silly question.

Answer 2

yeah i search drawBox because i was wondering the same thing. So thank you! And thank you Schindlabua for the link!

Answer 3

I don't know the app, but DrawBox isn't really javascript. It's a function they wrote to make things simpler to explain I would guess!

Doing graphics in Javascript is pretty easy compared to other languages. Here's how that would look like:
