Has any one else heard of this? seems like an interesting idea at the very least for people who have problems getting into programing.

Does it use an actual programming language or is it made up? I don't have much experience with different languages so I couldn't tell what that was on the screen there. Looks awesome though. I wonder if they will produce different versions for different programming languages haha.

from the bits on the screen I'd say it's a legit language, just with methods made by the developers, so you have to write how developers defined it.

haha probably some scrap code that you have to complete and debug... override would be to shoot the System.exit(0); to the boss (your gun uses code for bullets :D) to receive maximum fatality.
