Drag and drop programming

My son and I are completely new to Computercraft.

We got it installed and working but can only program the turtles via typing the lua script.

I've seen videos where they program the turtles (or disks to use in them) via some drag and drop textures for looping and actions. Like at this Youtube video (time stamp 1:14) https://youtu.be/cWweAgn8WdA?t=1m14s

How does one get to these, we can't find them at all. Any help in locating these or tutorials on this topics would be welcome.

Thanks

Do you know if this will work with regular minecraft or does it require the "edu" version? My Son's school doesn't do MinecraftEDU but he and I would like to.

No idea, have a go and give us the error logs if it doesn't. if the worst happens then I'll try to port the in game code editor for you.

It almost certainly has a "do not distribute modified copies" license attached to it.

I've got a memory that someone wrote a similar sort of interface for writing scripts in CC about a year ago, but I can't find the thread now. I never actually payed much attention to it while the discussion was active, so it may be that I'm mistaken as to what it was about.

Personally, I think you're better off typing your code in - you'll learn more. If it helps, remember that if you open up your world save, there's a folder called "computers" which contains further folders for each computer / turtle in your world - you can directly access their files there, meaning you don't have to use the in-game "edit" to write your scripts.
