koodib

Koodib is a fictional, open-source educational programming environment designed to teach programming concepts through a two-tier model: a visual block-based language called Koodib Blocks and an optional textual scripting layer named Koodib Script.

Originating as a collaborative project among educators and developers in 2023, Koodib was intended to lower barriers to entry for beginners while offering a clear pathway toward text-based coding.

Key features include a drag-and-drop editor with color-coded blocks, real-time syntax and semantic checks, and the ability to generate runnable code in JavaScript when switching to Koodib Script. Projects are stored in JSON, with an optional export to standard languages.

Accessibility and cross-platform availability are emphasized; Koodib runs in modern web browsers and provides offline mode via a downloadable runtime. The interface supports multiple languages and screen-reader compatibility.

Educational use: Koodib is positioned for classroom use, with lesson templates, assessments, and progress tracking; teachers can customize blocks to align with curricula.

Development and licensing: In this depiction, Koodib is released under an open-source license similar to MIT, with a plugin architecture that allows third-party blocks and themes.
