Flowol™ 4 is the perfect introduction to programming in Computer Science!
Students of all ages can explore automatic systems through the virtual world
of Mimics (controllable on-screen pictures); models operated by connected interface
hardware; and the visual programming language of flowcharts.
Programming visually
with a flowchart allows the student to focus on the logic of their solution
rather than the syntax of a written program.
Flowol supports
many programming elements:
- Sequences of instructions
- Branching using decisions
- Loops (infinite, conditional, or count)
- Variables and simple variable manipulation
- Sub-procedures (parameters optional)
- Multiple parallel threads
Flowol 4 can be used to control mimics, real models and robots. Students
can drag standard flowchart symbols onto the page and then link them
together using the line tool (a). Symbols are edited using the on-screen prompt
box (b). Typing
or syntax cannot get in the way. They can then run the flowchart
and
monitor the program; adjusting speed or pausing to demonstrate or correct
logic (c). The status of the system (inputs and outputs) can be easily
monitored
(d).
