alice-teacher Decrement in a for-loop

[Vanderhyde, James]

That is a nice feature request. Some of the control structures have a “change to…” right-click menu option. It would be nice if the “Loop up to” block could change to a “Loop down to” block.

As it is now, it says “up to 5 times” which doesn’t make sense, even for the up direction.

Hi,

Is there a way to count down in a for-loop? This is what we're doing but it seems awfully clumsy:
