hello, this is a somehow strange request: a long time ago, a python developer wrote me saying he wrote a nice application in python which was also able to let the user snap together graphical blocks and at the same time it lets the user see the corresponding code, without even writing it; maybe something similar to turtle art but i am sure it was not that one ! if anyone (or the developer itself) knows something about it, please let me know ? thank you ps: if you're thinking why i am not searching in my inbox, the answer is you're right but i didn't find the mail again :) among tens of thousands of other messages, sorry ! -- roberto
You're not talking about MIT Scratch are you? It fits your description to some extent. http://scratch.mit.edu/ Kirby On Fri, Sep 3, 2010 at 11:58 AM, roberto <roberto03@gmail.com> wrote:

PataPata by Paul Fernhout comes to mind, though it's hard to believe it was so long ago. http://patapata.sourceforge.net/ Tony
thank you i am sure it is not in the list you gave me actually, it is something very similar to turtle art (but it is not that one): you create a program using blocks and, at the same time, the whole application creates the underlying python code that creates the blocks (but of course the visual code made by blocks does something different from the code automatically generated ) BTW, does TA this job ? have a nice day On Sat, Sep 4, 2010 at 10:45 AM, Tony Theodore <tonyt@logyst.com> wrote:
