A maintainer of Squeakland Jananese version.
As a Squeak / Tweak / Croquet developer, I have developed a couple of
goodies includes odeco, Techo, Skeleton and LanguageGame.  My

software

Skeleton

Skeleton is a tool for making mathematical and physical simulation easy way. This is an extension of Squeak etoy system, and User can operate almost with drag-and-drop. In addition to, user is not only able to make funny interactive contents like what ThingLab shows, but also to verify whether it works well with unit tests.

LanguageGame is a parser generator that has graphical user interface written in Squeak. Though parser generator is a professional tool that is used to develop a programming language. With LanguageGame, I hope that non-professional computer users,students or children will be able to learn the concept of "programming language" and to design their original language.
