Java for Education using SnapCode
summary
SnapCode is an educational Java IDE that uses a Scratch-style block editor which actually generates real Java, compiles to JavaScript via the tvm transpiler, and publishes to the web with one line of code. Demoed artifacts include a cat-chasing-mouse animation running at ~30 FPS, a UI built with the integrated visual designer, a command-line scanner wrapped into a GUI, and a Greenfoot-style Asteroids port — most examples run in-browser but a few edge-case bugs remain. Downloader is a 40 MB download.
