Abstract

There are too many things to learn when novice students develop programs in well-known languages, such as Java or C. To support learning programming languages, we developed Nigari System, a programming environment. The language is simpler than usual ones, and the developing environment enables students make attractive applications, animations or games. As an experiment, we applied Nigari System for a class of programming in Waseda University and report the result of the experiment.
