Greenfoot

Greenfoot is a framework and development environment for developing Java programs. It focuses on providing a visual represention of object oriented programming. Programs are displayed on a two-dementional grid where objects interact. These programs are saved as scenarios.

The current version 2.10. of Greenfoot is stable. Greenfoot is coded in Java. All scenarios allow the user to manipulate real Java code. Therefore, users should have some prior exposure to Java.

Greenfoot is not a language. In simple terms, Greenfoot is a program that allows you to code in Java visually. We will code using Greenfoot before we jump to coding Java with Netbeans

As we transition from Alice to Greenfoot, be aware that we will be working with a lot more typed code. Whereas Alice had a drag and drop code interface, Greenfoot will require that you type in all your code. Be careful. One little typo can crash your program.
