The middle description pane should better help users understand what each statement type asks them to do by explicitly listing mini-steps that they or the computer will perform. Each statement type (e.g., IF, strategy invocation, SET, execute, loops) has its own list of mini-steps. For example, the mini-steps for IF might look like:
Step 1: Find the value of the variable using the variables pane on the right.
Step 2: Inspect the condition in the statement. If the condition is true, click True. Otherwise, click False.
Step 3: The computer will go to the next statement.
Each ministep should have an icon on the far left that is either a person or the computer, indicating to the user which of the mini-steps they will perform and which will be performed by the computer.
