*"QuickScript is amazing, btw — chapeau !" *
- comment from participant in the DrRacket @racketlang Quickscript 
Competition (unofficial)

Quickscript is easy and fun - take a look at some examples to see how 
others made their scripts

https://github.com/Quickscript-Competiton/July2020entries/issues (19 
competition entries - will you be #20?)
https://github.com/Metaxal/quickscript-extra/tree/master/scripts (34 
scripts in the quickscript-extra collection)

Good luck & have fun!

Hi All, 

The example in the documentation is bad - it redefines 'reverse' (which is 
fine), then attempts to use it.

The working version changes the name of the script (which is just a 
function) to 'reverse-selection' so it doesn't cause the error:
 
(define-script 

 reverse-selection
  #:label "Reverse"
  (λ 

 (selection)
(list->string 

 (reverse 

 (string->list 

 selection)

I still think making scripts is easy and fun but I apologise for not 
testing the documentation.

here is a script I just made (and tested); 

#lang racket/base
;;; License: MIT/Apache2.0
(require browser/external
 quickscript)
(script-help-string "Racket Survey.")
(define-script racket-survey
  #:label "Racket Survey (browser)"
  #:menu-path ("")
  #:help-string "Complete the Racket Survey now"
  (λ (str) 
(send-url "https://forms.gle/XeHdgv8R7o2VjBbF9;)
#f))

click new script in the menu and give it a name 'survey' this will create a 
file 'survey.rkt' in the user scripts folder
paste in the above, save and click 'compile scripts and reload'. 
- you will find the script "Racket Survey (browser)" under 'News' in the 
scripts menu.

There is still time to enter and prizes to be won.

*Need some ideas?  *Check out some examples from quickscript-extra 
, and some starter ideas 
below.

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 !
   - Add Windows and/or Macos support to *git 
   *. 
   (maybe use open-terminal 
   

 as 
   a starting point?)
   - Post the current selection to the Racket Slack. (*tweet 
   
* 
is 
   an example of using a web api)
   - Make a game? (maybe use 2htdp/universe 
    or lux 
   ?)

*Looking for more ideas?* What about porting some of emacs scripts 
 and vim scripts 
?

When you have an idea...Getting started for the impatient 

 is 
a good starting point.

*Some existing examples*

   - *abstract-variable 
   
*:
 
   Create a variable from the selected expression video 
   
   - *extract-function 
   
*:
 
   Extracts a block of code out of its context and generates a function and a 
   call video 
   - *indent-table 
   
*:
 
   Indent rows on double-space-separated colums video 
   

*Win Prizes and the Admiration of your peers.*

Good Luck & Have fun

Stephen

PS a ROT13 encoder/decoder was the first entry!
