Compilations Targets

Steplo has two different targets it can compile to: Scratch and TurboWarp.

You can specify which platform you'd like to target with the --target flag:

# compiles targetting Scratch
cargo run helloworld.lo out --target scratch

# compiles targetting TurboWarp
cargo run helloworld.lo out --target turbowarp

How a Steplo project is compiled to a .sb3 file will change based on which platform is being targetted. These changes will be to optimize the program to run most optimially on the targetted platform.

A project compiled targetting Scratch will be outputted with a .s.sb3 extension, and compilations targetting TurboWarp will have the .t.sb3 extension.

Of course, since Scratch and TurboWarp both use .sb3 files, you can run a .t.sb3 on Scratch and a .s.sb3 on TurboWarp, but they will likely have worse performance than running the corresponding extension for that platform.
