As a computer science teacher, I was struggling to find a graphics framework for my students. Because my students all loved MIT’s Scratch, I heavily leaned on it for inspiration.

The result is an object-oriented graphic framework and IDE with built-in documentation, autocomplete, auto-run, and more!

While it was created with 11-year-olds in mind, I hope WoofJS will be useful to anyone making graphical experiences. You can use it to make games, animations and art.

One of our high school students made a version of Frogger: http://woofjs.com/create.html#Frogger

And another made a fun dodging game with emojis: http://woofjs.com/create#poop-emoji

We’re open source if you wanted to contribute :)

My feedback:

1. The site captures my keyboard and prevents me from using it to navigate my browser. This is a substantial accessibility issue.

2. Also curious about any pedagogical research behind WoofJS's development.
