A programming environment and framework that supports interactive, data-driven, scriptable construction of graphical tools with low effort. It is implemented in Squeak/Smalltalk. Join the chat at https://gitter.im/hpi-swa/vivide

How to Install Build Status

  1. Get Squeak 5.3 or later with a recent OpenSmalltalkVM for your operating system.
  2. If not already integrated, load Metacello. Learn how it works.
  3. Finally, load VIVIDE into your Squeak image:
Metacello new
  baseline: 'Vivide';
  repository: 'github://hpi-swa/vivide:master/repository';
 "get; --- for updates" 
  load.

Then, create and enter a new animated Morphic project. There, your can open Vivide with VivideLight open.

See FAQ for further information.
