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.

What’s New

Version 3.12.1

FIXED

Parameters were experiencing an identity crisis. Instead of being themselves, parameter.color() fancied itself an action button, and most parameters couldn’t quite figure out who they were meant to be, save for the number parameters, which stayed true to form. This existential confusion stemmed from a misconfigured switch statement. Order has now been restored; parameters can now confidently be themselves.

Incredible

Codea is extremely easy to use and probably the easiest way to create your own games. More importantly, it's also very powerful, fun and much more than just a tool for prototyping. Programming entire games or apps is absolutely possible. Definitely the best app like this on the AppStore.

Thank you for your wonderful review, so glad you liked Codea

Riesiges Potential - aber Zeitfressend u. Frustrierend, weil...

schlechte Dokumentation
dauert ändert sich was
im Forum viele Beispiele aber oft veraltet
nichtmal die eigenen Beispiele innerhalb der App funktionieren teilweise

Für Profis und Menschen mit Geduld und Lust auf Detektivarbeit, Gut. Für Anfänger eher nicht.

Python konnte ich nach 2 Wochen, an dem hier beisse ich mir immer noch die Zähne aus.

Unprofessionell. Liegt nicht an den armen 2 Jungs die das ausbaden müssen sondern an der Firma die ihnen 1 Tag in der Woche zum pflegen der App gibt.

Thank you for your review! Sorry the app didn't work out for you

CODEA!!!

A This is the best app! (For programming) if you have the money, then it's the bet you can do with it. I'm bad at Codea, but I understand the simple things e.g. like buttons and the rest.

Hi! Thank you for leaving your review

The language Codea uses is called Lua. Hope this helps!
