System and method of designing, testing, and employing graphical computer code
A system for designing, testing, and employing graphical computer code includes a graphics editor for creating a graphical display. The graphical display is made up of a plurality of graphical objects constructed by the graphics editor. A translator creates a high-level computer language code of the graphical object. The translator is connected to the graphics editor. A compiler receives the high level computer language code from the translator.
