WIP - Algoid - Programming language for kids and beginners

[CyaNn]

Hello folks,

I am actually developing a new langage for educational purpose called AL and an IDE Algoid.
It was initially developed on android platform but I am creating a fork for RaspberryPI.

This is the website of the project :
http://www.algoid.net

And Algoid running on a raspberryPI :
It is beautifull

Everything was developped in java : lexer, parser, language definition, runtime and IDE.
So it is extremly portable

I think this would be better in the other languages section.

However, Looks good none the less

Personally, I'm happy with python/java but always open to trying something new

Moved as requested by OP.

Is it me or does this look like a remake of "logo" / "turtle graphics"??

What else can this programming language do apart from move and draw??

redhawk -> yes it is but ....

(AL is the home made language of Algoid.)

AL is multi-paradigm : imperative, functional, object oriented, MOP and then Aspect oriented.
It apprenticeship was minded as progressiv as possible, by introducing intermediate controles structures like loop (more simple than for) and self instanciated object.
AL is near than de facto industrial languages, then inspired from C.

So yes it is the tutle but she have drank some redbull !!!! lol

An finally, Algoid give the opportunity to develop some little games:

This screencast was taken from android version.

Hello everybody,
Sorry for double poste....

Some improvement on the desktop application.


You can find the jar here http://www.algoid.net/downloads/AlgoIDE-release.jar

Unfortunately the IDE performances are very slow on the PI. It is due to several factor : java is not totally optimized for rPI and the source editor I use is not optimized too....
After my holiday I will work around IDE performances.
In the meantime, I hope you will like this application. Keep in mind it is an Alpha version....

[CyaNn]

Well !!!!
Pi-store integration is in progress. I hope finish that at the middle of the week.....

Little question, is it necessary to create two version (one for hardfloat and one for soft) or juste hard float is necessary (knowing that the most current version it the hard one) ?

Another question :
Which person should I contact to make some anouncment of my release ?

[CyaNn]

Yeah, AlgoIDE is now available on the Pi Store :


Enjoy it
