The Source Academy Module System

Welcome to the Source Modules wiki. This wiki serves to contain long-form informative content related to the Source Modules system and its modules. Refer to the sidebar for more information.

Try out Source Academy here.

The module system imitates ESM Javascript, allowing the use of import statements to import external code into Source programs:

import { draw_connected } from 'curve';

Refer to the development guide for information on how to create modules.
