Boxer has many excellent ideas in it. This paper is well worth
reading (and it doesn't need the special pleading that mars the
presentation of the ideas).
It's still a great start for thinking about many important features
(and their integration) that children's authoring environments need today.
Cheers,
Alan

Of course it might just be more powerful and efficient to

of it like SimCity and Robot Odyssey.
Anyone know the current status of being able to turn an AST tree
emitted by the Python compiler module back into code after it has
been modified ?
I think Boxer is an interesting middleground between a full visual
scripting environment, and something more visual than typical
Python source code. It's an old/dead project, and I never was able
to actually get the code to run well (in OS 9 emulation), but the
paper is interesting: http://www.soe.berkeley.edu/boxer/papers.html
Thanks Ian - the 'ports' concept in particular is giving me a lot of
food for thought!
