This tutorial will teach you the basics of Scrypto, the smart contract programming language of Radix. Here is a summary of what you will learn:
| Example | What you will learn |
|---|---|
| Hello World | The basic structure, how to create a token and how to write methods. |
| Gumball Machine | How to parameterize your components and accept a payment. |
| Bored Gumball Club NFTs | How to create NFTs and mint resources. |
| Event Ticket System | Creating more complex NFTs |
| RadiSwap | Learn to build a more concrete example and use the transaction manifest to compose calls. |
Before running the examples, you will need to install the Scrypto toolchain and an IDE that supports Rust. We recommend using VS Code with the rust-analyzer extension.
If you are testing the examples on Windows, make sure to open a PowerShell terminal in VSCode by selecting in the menus: Terminal > New Terminal, and then making sure that this is a PowerShell terminal by looking at the top right:
If you see something other than powershell, click on the arrow and then PowerShell:
Finally, to run our ps1 scripts, you need to allow PowerShell to run external script by running this command: Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope Process
To enable syntax highlighting in the transaction manifest files you can right-click the rtm_color.vsix file and select Install extension VSIX.
