Programming in pictures within Filmification Modeling environment

“Programming in pictures,” or “filmification of methods” is an approach where pictures and moving pictures are used as super-characters for representing features of computational algorithms. A Filmification Modeling environment supporting the approach is based on a set of generic pictures and related editors/browsers allowing the development of compound pictures of algorithmic steps. The compound pictures are assembled into special series representing different views of algorithmic features. These views are employed to split the programming process into special stages and to support understandability of the programs within the framework of visual debugging or external inspection. In this paper, a brief introduction of the approach and the environment are presented to prepare a basis for the demonstration.
