The DCR Programming Language (Draw Color Repeat)

DCR (Draw Color Repeat) 1.0.0 has been released! It is a simplified minimal subset of the Logo programming language, which aims at providing school kids in 1st - 3rd grade the simplest programming language learning experience possible. It is built with Ruby (JRuby) using Glimmer DSL for SWT and released under the MIT license.



You may download a packaged version for the Mac from the project page on GitHub (if you need a packaged version for Windows, hit me up in the comments, and I could guide you towards building your own Windows native executable installer using the Glimmer DSL for SWT `glimmer package` feature).

Alternatively, you may install as a Ruby gem that runs on top of JRuby and JDK8 on any platform.

Below is the project writeup from its README.

Happy learning!
