I'd really like to see someone get this right, but the problem is we don't seem to know the answer and are asking the wrong question: >What does an algorithm look like? Flowcharting and diagramming pre-date computers and used to be popular ways to define software workflows --- why hasn't that directly translated into coding? The Drakon Editor folks short-circuit this with the idea that the desirable option is always straight down --- is that a viable solution? The Node Editor folks have solutions which some folks use, but there are also sites filled with literal visual spaghetti code: https://scriptsofanotherdimension.tumblr.com/ https://scriptsofanotherdimension.tumblr.com/ It's been the better part of a century since Herman Hesse wrote _The Glass Bead Game_, but the most flexible systems still end up as a wall of text, which can be hard to format, or which one limits to plain text --- all-too few programmers avail themselves of: http://literateprogramming.com/ http://literateprogramming.com/ One promising development is Nintendo's _Game Builder's Garage_: https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/game-builder-garage-switch/ https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/game-builder-garage-... (which when I gifted it to a co-worker's son was described as "This is the greatest game ever!") These days I mostly do 3D, so have been using BlocksCAD: https://www.blockscad3d.com/community/users/67750#/?_k=7br97u https://www.blockscad3d.com/community/users/67750#/?_k=7br97... and OpenSCAD Graph Editor: https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor https://github.com/derkork/openscad-graph-editor I'd love to see a similar tool for making a GUI program.
