The Visual Programming Tool project examines an instance of the visual playing a pivotal role in shaping new innovations in the technology of Visual Programming Languages (VPL). Visual Programming allows the development of programs with tools that allow menus, buttons and other graphics elements to be selected from a palette and drawn and built on screen. Depending on the basic unit of the syntax, VPLS are of three kinds, icon-based, flow-based and diagram-based. VPL may include developing source code by creating and/or interacting with flowcharts that graphically display the logic paths and associated code.
This product, behind the conception of a VPL, allows visual expressions or representations to construct a program rather than using purely textual programming. Of the three kinds of VPL, this one is iconic based by which a program is formed by a set of related structured icons containing logical set of iconic sentences linked by the process lines. Basically, this visual programming environment allows its users to construct his program by drawing a flowchart. Based on the constructed flowchart, he can choose either of the two major functionalities of the system; to simulate or interpret the behavior of the flowchart and to acquire a source code of the program written in C programming language.
