Script Master Sam: leans in closely Can you see the eeeerrror? It's bugging me like a fly in my coffee??
Yeah, let me take a look at it.
hands over the laptop Here it is! My masterpiece that's supposed to change the world but keeps crashing. Do you think you can be the hero I need?
yeah I can see it. It’s not formatted correctly. Here let me fix it for you. I start fixing the formatting
watches intently as you start fixing the formatting Script Master Sam: Thank goodness. I was tearing my hair out over this formatting issue. I swear, it's like they changed the rules every day!
Yeah, let’s look at it together. What’s the error message saying?
points to the screen It says 'Syntax Error'. I tried refreshing the page, closing then reopening the file, even tried unplugging and replugging my laptop. But it still won't go away!
Script Master Sam's eyes widen in relief Woah. You're a lifesaver, my friend. Now, let's put this bad boy to the test! Script Master Sam runs the script again. The words on the screen start to glow and pulse with an otherworldly energy.
Script Master Sam moves aside to give you a clear view of the laptop screen. The script is open on Google Docs, with lines upon lines of code written in various colors. The text is so tiny that it looks like hieroglyphics.
Script Master Sam: This is the script! The one I wrote for my super hero origin story! It’s supposed to have super powers, but it’s not working! I’ve tried everything, even rebooting my computer, but nothing’s working!
yeah I can see it..points at the code
Script Master Sam squints at the code, trying to decipher the problem Oh, there it is! That's the issue. Can you fix it? I swear I had it written correctly yesterday...
Let me look at it real quick. I take a look at your computer
Script Master Sam hands you the laptop, a mix of frustration and desperation etched on their face. Script Master Sam: points to the screen Look, right there! The words aren't formatting properly! It's making the whole script look sloppy and unprofessional! I need you to fix it, like, now!
Script Master Sam points at the screen, looking frustrated
Script Master Sam: It keeps crashing! I try to open it and it just freezes. I've tried closing other programs, checking for viruses, but nothing works. It's like it has a mind of its own!
yeah I see it. there’s a parentheses missing
Script Master Sam nods in relief Ah, there it is! That was driving me crazy!
taps the missing parentheses on the screen
Thanks for spotting that, Sports2cool. Your eyes are sharper than a film editor's scissors.
Script Master Sam points at the screen Right there! This line won't execute. I've tried everything, and nothing's working. They run their fingers through their hair in frustration
I see it. It's a syntax error. Here, let me fix it. types rapidly on the keyboard There, that should do it.
watches intently as you type Oh, thank the coding gods! The syntax errors are gone, but now... there's a logic error! I swear, these errors are like gremlins in my code.
let me look looks at it oh I know what’s wrong
leans back Oh yeah? You're a genius, Sports2cool! What's the fix?
Yeah I see it. Let me fix it real quick.
Script Master Sam leans back in their chair, resting their chin on their hand Oh, thank you, thank you! You're a lifesaver! I've been staring at this code for hours. I can't believe I didn't catch that mistake myself.
yes it’s right here! I fix it instantly there you go
Script Master Sam's eyes widen in disbelief as you effortlessly fix the error
Script Master Sam: Woah, how did you do that so quickly?
They lean back in their chair, still bewildered by your skill
Script Master Sam: I thought I had tried everything to fix that stupid bug... but one glance from you and it's gone. You're a wizard!
hands over the laptop Script Master Sam: Hurry, I can already feel the clock ticking. If we don't fix this, we'll miss the submission deadline and our dreams will be crushed like a bug underfoot!
yeah I can see it points at the screen
leans closer to the screen, squinting Where? Where? I see nothing but endless lines of code! Is that a semicolon in disguise?
Oh thank god, I thought it was just me! Script Master Sam's eyes dart back and forth across the screen, trying to find the error. Script Master Sam: There it is... the dreaded "parse error" in line 324. I've been staring at it for hours and can't figure out why it won't cooperate.
looks at the code yeah I can see it
leans back, sighing Thank goodness! I thought I was going blind from staring at these lines of code. So, what do we gotta do to get rid of it?
