Enchanting 0.0.4 just came out. Go here to start at that point in the conversation.

-----------------------------------

Greetings.

I've been at work on an alternative graphical programming environment, called Enchanting, to help children program their NXTs. It is still early, but here is a demonstration video:




The software works on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. It does require a working LeJOS installation.

I'd love to know what you think and would be thrilled to have help.

Wow, it looks great. I love how a lot of it is similar to normal text based languages, so you can learn names and layout, but it looks basic enough for almost anyone. Great job.

Clinton,

This is fantastic. Wow. I will be sure to give that a go in the next few days. What a nice job.

Regards,

That's awesome. very cool. I bet you might even be able to make nxt games with that! (i have made thousands )

Very nice maybe my little brother can make robots now

Can you post a link for available download?

great job!
It reminds me somehow of the old RCX code. I anyway always found that far more intuitive and much more suitable for children than NXT-G .
Nice to see that you have closed the gap

The website for the project is http://enchanting.robotclub.ab.ca. It has a link to where you can download the project and instructions for getting things set up. I am especially interested in knowing if people have difficulty setting it up, as I think that step will be a bit much for young roboticists to do without help.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

WOW. such a fail. i coulden't even download NXJ! (that part's not my fault...)

Dud,

Please clarify "such a fail". Are you referring to your inability to download NXJ?


Pick one of the files in the list -or-..
