Description
"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.
FEATURES
• A fully featured 2D and 3D renderer
• Lots of great example projects to learn from, including games
• Touch your code: tap colors, images and sounds to adjust them
• Export your finished projects to Xcode to produce real apps
• Complete in-line reference documentation accessible from keyboard
• Intelligent syntax highlighting and auto-completing code editor
• Import your own assets from Dropbox
• Full 2D and 3D physics engines for complex motion
• Add parameters so you can tweak variables at runtime
• Interact with accelerometer and multi-touch on your device
• Generate retro-game sound effects
• GLSL Shader Language support with live shader editor
• Bluetooth keyboard support and keyboard shortcuts
• Air Code: code live from your PC using WiFi
• Much, much more

Teaching coding and game development
I must say, I do like your app. It’s good, a definite 7/10 if this was out of 10. There are huge limitations that I see for it that need to be addressed before I would recommend this wholly for game development. I would just prefer to tell my audience to flesh out the big chunks of your game here first, and then export it to Xcode. Things you need to start to include - Importing sounds from iCloud Drive/Drop Box. Importing models and object files - again from iCloud/Drop Box. Exporting Craft scenes into Xcode is a must, please work on that. Also, having delay commands. If you already have it and I just overlooked it, feel free to show me where they are and I will edit this comment out. Your forums were a source of great information, and your reference section was also amazing.
Makes programming on iPad fun!
This is probably the most enjoyable programming experience I’ve ever had, best part is the OpenGL shader playground. Only thing missing is Bluetooth LE support. Worth the money!
Worse coding language
If you have even the worst computer in the world, use python over this pathetic language that calls itself easy to use. Very impractical, not logical and weird, do not buy this app. Use python. Please.
Programming became easy
This app make programming so easy.
Cool and easy
This is awesome! Probably the best app for programming out there.
A must have.
Codea makes developing everything from small programs to all out games and apps easy and fun. It is a must have.
Codea is amazing!
I am a professional software developer, and a father of two young boys who love iPads and video games. I have long encouraged them to design their own video games by drawing maps and storyboards on paper. Now I do not have to wait until they are old enough for Objective-C --we are going to use Codea to bring their games to the iTunes Store. Amazing! Now I wish that my pro software tools were as slick as Codea...
What an awesome way to learn to program!
Trying this out with young students to interest them in coding, so much to discover and so well done! Creating apps on the iPad itself? Wow...
Simply the best!!!
It's amazing, this new release is a most have. Keep up the good work. Codea is the best programming app for the iPad ever! Thanks guys for this wonderful piece of software.
