Builtins - Aksa Docs

Builtins are the commands Aksa ships with. Like keywords, their names come from the locale dictionary — all names are lowercase snake_case in every locale. There are 14 today, in three groups.

Console

English	Indonesian	What it does
`print(…)`	`tulis(…)`	Show values on the screen (any number of inputs)
`ask(…)`	`tanya(…)`	Ask a question and wait for the answer

Robot (drawing)

The robot draws while it walks across the canvas.

English	Indonesian	What it does
`forward(n)`	`maju(n)`	Walk forward `n` steps, drawing a line
`backward(n)`	`mundur(n)`	Walk backward `n` steps
`turn_right(d)`	`belok_kanan(d)`	Turn right by `d` degrees
`turn_left(d)`	`belok_kiri(d)`	Turn left by `d` degrees
`color(name)`	`warna(nama)`	Change the pen color
`pen_up()`	`angkat_pena()`	Lift the pen — walk without drawing
`pen_down()`	`turunkan_pena()`	Put the pen back down

Hardware

These work against the virtual board in the browser and against real pins on a device.

English	Indonesian	What it does
`turn_on(pin)`	`nyalakan(pin)`	Turn a pin on (light an LED)
`turn_off(pin)`	`matikan(pin)`	Turn a pin off
`read(pin)`	`baca(pin)`	Read a digital pin (button pressed or not)
`read_analog(pin)`	`baca_analog(pin)`	Read an analog pin (slider, sensor)
`wait(ms)`	`tunggu(ms)`	Pause for `ms` milliseconds (page stays alive)

Example

if (read_analog(2) > 30) {
    turn_on(5)
} else {
    turn_off(5)
}

Calling a builtin with the wrong number of inputs is error E103, and a name Aksa doesn't know is E102 — both caught before the program runs.

Three more hardware builtins are planned for the Aksabot kit.
