Description
"It’s kind of like the Garage Band of coding." – Wired
"Codea for iPad is a super slick way to write and run programs on your iPad." – Gizmodo
Codea lets you create games and simulations — or just about any visual idea you have. Turn your thoughts into interactive creations that make use of iPad features like Multi-Touch and the accelerometer.
We think Codea is the most beautiful code editor you'll use, and it's easy. Codea is designed to let you touch your code. Want to change a color, or an image? Tapping will bring up visual editors that let you choose exactly what you want.
Codea is built on the Lua programming language. A simple, elegant language that doesn't rely too much on symbols — a perfect match for iPad.
Here's how you use it: type your code. Press play to watch it run. Interact with it. Get creative.

Ratings and Reviews
Crashes at startup after latest update - update: fixed by a VERY helpful team
It seems that all the work I have done creating apps was wasted time. After the latest update the app shows the Codea logo (when starting Codea) and then shuts down. Restarting the ipad doesn’t change that. Strange and a shame. It would surprise me that I’m the only one with this issue
Update: the devs reached out to me and helped me sorting out the issue (which was genuine). They got it solved after a couple of days. Great team, these Codea-guys!
5 stars again! Well-deserved!
Developer Response ,
Hi Franky. That sounds extremely frustrating! Are you able to reach out to us via email? Please contact me at simeon@twolivesleft.com and I will try to resolve your issue. Thank you
Update: we have submitted an update we are hoping will fix this issue for you (version 3.11.1). It should be available soon
Mise à jour indispensable
La nouvelle fonctionnalité "Air code" offre un grand confort d'édition du code en effectuant celui-ci sur PC ou Mac via le réseau local.
Les modifications sont immédiatement répercutées sur l'iPad : génial!
Excellent prototyping environment!
