Visual programming method, system and terminal device

A visual programming system, comprising a processor and a memory storing instructions executable for the processor, wherein the instructions functions as:

• an update module configured to update a primitive information module of a local storage space when a remote server is detected as including the primitive information module of a new version;
• an initialization module configured to initialize a visual programming main interface;
• an obtaining module configured to obtain a dummy primitive object selected by a user in the visual programming main interface;
• a search module configured to search for a real primitive object corresponding to the dummy primitive object basing on primitive information of the dummy primitive object;
• and
• an instantiation module configured to instantiate the real primitive object, and replacing the dummy primitive object with the real primitive object.

A terminal device for visual programming, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory;
• and
• one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs comprises:
• instructions for updating a primitive information module of a local storage space when a remote server is detected as including the primitive information module of a new version;
• instructions for initializing a visual programming main interface;
• instructions for obtaining a dummy primitive object selected by a user in the visual programming main interface;
• instructions for searching for a real primitive object corresponding to the dummy primitive object basing on primitive information of the dummy primitive object;
• and
• instructions for instantiating the real primitive object, and replacing the dummy primitive object with the real primitive object.
