Is there a simpler way to code?

If you've ever used a site like scratch or block coding in general you know it's incredibly simple and easy to use. Is there some kind of block coding (ish) thing that can be used to code with on computercraft? I'm newish to coding (I can use the scratch site to make fairly decent things.) and it seems incredibly difficult and time consuming to learn an entire programming language so having something like this in computercraft would make my experience a lot more fun and fast and a lot less enraging and time consuming.

This is why I do not like drag-and-drop coding, however it's an interesting idea for a CC program. Keep in mind that people do have to code those kind of things (coding a code-editor..) as well.

Learning a programming language is a bit time consuming, but if you look around at all the programs this community has pushed out you can see that it displays all kinds of creativity. I'm afraid there are no block-editors that I know of for CC. There are probably some for Lua as Lua is a popular game-making language.

If you're interested in the game-making drag-and-drop programming I would suggest Game Maker 8, Studio or Studio 2. They're great, and once you've got a hang of the code blocks you can go to real code where it gets more interesting. The language (GML - Game Maker Language) is similar to Lua (it's a mix of Lua and Python), so if you learn that it's not hard to move over to CC. It's just the APIs and methods are different for each language.

If you install CCEdu, it comes with programmable turtles that use a codebloks like system for programming the turtles. Now, i know that isnt exactly what you wanted, but its the closest we have right now.

ComputerCraftEdu doesn't have exactly what you're looking for, but it may make what you're doing easier.
