One-file projectsKeep a whole project in one readable text file, <Name>.shotsystem, that you can diff, edit by hand and run with shot run.Getting startedMake a project with one command, give it a program and run it, then build its instances from the command line, every change one step you can take back.The windowOpen a project in a window of its own: its objects and their properties, its scripts checked as you type, a Run button with the program's output, and every change in a list you can step back through.Running a projectRun a program once and watch it print, or play a library's scenarios and see how many pass, with shot run.Checked pathsWalk from script to any object in your project and shot check knows what is there, so a misspelt child, a value of the wrong type or game is an error before anything runs.ProcessServiceStart other programs from your project, read what they print line by line while they run, write to them, and stop them with everything they started.
