I am considering creating a visual programming language , akin to Scratch , for use by children (as well as poor drivers) in programming microcontrollers or robots.
There is, for example, a project for creating a graphical programming environment for Arduino .
I really like Scratch and would like the graphic coding to be the same. A paper clip source is available under its own free license. It is written in Squeak (based on Smalltalk), and I don't know the language.
It seems to me that there may be other projects that need to be built. When I looked at the list of graphic languages on Wikipedia, I did not see much that was open source and could be built.
I am familiar with C / C ++, Python and a little Objective C. If I were to create my own project from scratch, I would use the Qt library , since I would like to build something cross-platform, but, unfortunately, I don’t know that either.
If I had an infinite amount of time to work on this, you can bet that I would study Squeak and Qt and do an exhaustive search for all existing visual programming projects. This is not so, I ask for opinions:
- Is there an existing project that I have to work on?
- Do you recommend learning Squeak, or Qt, or something else?
