DrawScript is a radically new environment to learn and do computation! DrawScript does programming with shapes and it be extended in a complete scripting language where if/then statements, loops, conditionals and so forth can be entirely declared in terms of shapes and visual symbols. In shape machine a line of code is literally a line or an arrangement of geometric lines!
