Code runs our apps, games and systems of society but on a more personal level code is a magical puzzle great for story telling, art and communication. It is a shame that people miss out on the wonders of code thinking they can’t code or don’t want to. So please, code with me — for real. With just a couple clicks and taps we can explore the magic.

INNOVATIONS 1 & 2 :: The Online Editor and Chaining

Are you ready? Open up this Online Editor we have made for kids. Sure… it is time to think like a kid again. Be excited with something new. Now type or copy this into the editor and press TEST (then drag around the circle).

NOTE: we now have the ZIM Editor (based on the Kids Editor shown)

new Circle().center().drag();

This is pretty amazing. We have coded in less than a minute with no downloading software and no complex installations. The code even looks pretty readable! We chain together things with dot which means less lines.

Circle is called a class which holds instructions to make a circle…
