Pencil Code (programming language)
Pencil Code is an educational programming language and website. It allows programming using either Scratch-style block coding, or CoffeeScript. Code runs directly in the web browser and can be shared with others. The language centers on a model of a pencil programmatically drawing on a 2-dimensional screen, with the pencil cursor depicted visually as a turtle.
History
Pencil Code was created by David Bau and his son in 2013. It was inspired by Logo, the 1967 programming language for drawing on a screen using a Lisp-like programming language.[1] Google has funded improvements to Pencil Code via Google Summer of Code projects.[2]
