Algoid - Programming language
Target AudienceKids, teenagers and adults interested in learning computer programming.
★★
★ Algoid makes learning to program simple and fun!Remember the Logo programming language? The friendly turtle/robot that introduces the basics of programming step by step?Algoid is based on the same idea that is visual feedback loop − Write code, run, debug, and watch the turtle drawing the result.
★★
★ Algoid goes further. It includes a real-time debugger (the first and so far the only one on Android), a step-by-step execution mode, and scope explorer for better understanding.What’s more, you can hide the turtle and write code for your own video games.In short, Algoid can turn your Android device into a real programming workstation dedicated to self-learning and at the same time it makes learning fun.Algoid has all the tools you need to become a programmer, whether you are a kid, a teenager or an adult.The goal of Algoid is to enable everyone to learn how to code.
---
- Highlights ----Feature-rich Integrated Development Environment (IDE):★ Syntax highlighting★ Debugger with breakpoints (interrupt operation and debug)★ Step-by-step execution mode★ Real-time scope explorer★ Auto-completion of code★ Syntax error handling★ Unlimited Undo and Redo★ User interface optimized for small screens
Algoid also provides a documentation platform with Tutorials and an Online Forum.
---
- What Algoid is not----Algoid does not run through Scripting Layer for Android (SL4A). Instead, it integrates its own formal language parser. This choice was made to facilitate the integration of debugger, step-by-step execution mode, and scope explorer.Algoid Language (AL), although it draws inspiration from Java, is not Java, but its interpreter and runtime are both written in Java.Algoid is not a compiler, but a scripting language interpreter.Algoid is not (not yet but I am working on) a C, Python, JavaScript or Java IDE, but a dedicated one for Algoid Language.

See. Feel. Try. Retry. Reading and Writing code. Watch your commands,source come to life. Great first time app. Take your time but hurry up lol
I am currently teaching myself programming and I use this application as a visual tool for mastering programming concepts. I really think that the creator of the application is a genius. Thanks
Everything you would want in a child's first programming experience. I came in with a lot of expectations and they were all met.
Fun, easy, informative, no bs, no adds great! Will donate as soon as possible
I am just a beginner so I had trouble learning programming and this app helped me a lot. I wished I could donate,but unfortunately I can't.
Amazing app and idea, very well designed. Bit difficult to follow at first because there is no proper tutorial but you soon get the hang of it.
I could not code too save my life and now I can I mean I can't do much but I will try to learn my best you guys did something nobody else could thank you so much ☺
Fantastic application! You cant ask fpr anything more on a mobile device! Those people did something great for all of us! I always wanted to see the code run like that and the cursor follow the instructions! Absolutelly stunning! If u can, support those great developers! Peace !
Beautiful app! Please consider supporting Samsung S8/S8+ DeX mode.
Great app it works great!
Nice app for learning programming concepts. Very helpful
Very cool apps,i suggest to everyone to known and use
Impressive. I particularly like the option of a step by step trace.
This is an amazing app. Teaching me how to program. Cyan just wanted to know when your going to add new tutorials?
I love it ,it's the best I've seen
I love algoid, but can you make a game in algoid where you control your character with buttons ?
Crashes with message.
WOW! What a best app
It is good but it needs a better tutorial...... a lot better
software ,programming
It's crazy!
I grew up programming with Logo, and I wrote RPG's, card indexes, "virtual councelors," and Pig Latin apps. It's really great to see that the Logo idea is still being carried on, and your package is stand up by what I gathered in the 10 minutes or so I played with it, but on a phone, it doesn't seem particularly user friendly. Great work, awesome application.
I wanted to learn how to program as I've never done it before. This app is doing a fine job so far, but it took me a short while to find the tutorials.
Is there any way to change the speed of step execution?? I want to see the step by step process but don't like how slow it is :(!!! If this could be added I would probably change to 5 stars, donate, and let this become my android programming language of choice!! Edit; i already donated anyway. Also the file save dialog is messed up when typing file or folder names
Which language does this use? Looks like a made up one. While it can teach you basic rules of syntax, variables and all. It really won't help since in today's word you'll need Java, C++ & C#, as well as PHP & Javascript. .. I went to college for a few years for programming so I might get some use out of this app
This has been very easy to learn. The only thing I want to point out is that tutorial 1.4 on variables is not showing. But I was able to get it on the offline algoid tutorials app (separate)
And it's worth it. An excellent app. One or two things need polishing. Would love to contribute (developer, how to?) But it allowed me to capture and keep the imagination of my non - computer - literate friends
Nice work... But the syntax is different and seems at a higher level than the older one. As described, ALGOL is new.
I've been having trouble getting started in programming and the app helped me a lot, thank you very much :D
Ultimately good for beginners, but other than that, not so much. If you are looking for open source programming, use Qpython3, you can get the app sololearn to teach you any programming language. If you are on computer then get the following, get Visual Basic 2010 Express and C# Express. If you are looking to go into game design then get Game Makers Apprentice 8. If you want a good place to start learning object oriented programming then get Python 3.x.x and download tkinter pygame and numby packages. This app is basically just a stepping stone into the big ones (Java, Ruby, Python, and C)
