"It’s kind of like the Garage Band of coding." – Wired

"Codea for iPad is a super slick way to write and run programs on your iPad." – Gizmodo

Codea lets you create games and simulations — or just about any visual idea you have

Turn your thoughts into interactive creations that make use of iPad features like Multi-Touch and the accelerometer.

We think Codea is the most beautiful code editor you'll use, and it's easy

Codea is designed to let you touch your code

Want to change a color, or an image? Tapping will bring up visual editors that let you choose exactly what you want.

Codea is built on the Lua programming language

A simple, elegant language that doesn't rely too much on symbols — a perfect match for iPad.

Here's how you use it: type your code

Press play to watch it run

Interact with it

Get creative.
