Scratch IDE

Picture
My 10 year old daughter has been learning to program using Scratch, a graphical programming environment developed for kids in the MIT Media Lab.


It's a great sandbox to learn programming in because it represents all the core concepts of programming, but you don't have to compile code or deal with syntax issues.


Learning a new programming language is always frustrating because of the necessary syntax.  You know how to program, but do you put a colon here? a semicolon there?  etc...


What if you have a similar tool, but instead of creating a scratch program, you  selected the programming language to output, and it spit out your code formatted correctly in whatever language you wanted (java, c, php, javascript, actionscript, c#, perl, etc)  Then all you would need to know is how to program.

    Hello.  I'm a creative sort of a fellow, and I'm always coming up with ideas.  I have notebooks filled with them.  I'll be posting them here from time to time.  If you like one and wish to adopt it, feel free.
