Does such a programming tool exist?
I was automatician, and I am used to the logic blocks, grafcets and sequential function charts.
But when It comes to text-programming, I'm a no good.
Are there some programming tools in which you can place some blocks, set their parameters and link them and that converts that mess into C, java or whatever?

While it may not be entirely what you need as it is more of a teaching tool then anything else Panther is a tool based of Scratch that allows simple programming by dragging and editing logic blocks.
While it seems to fit the description of what you want I have only ever used it while I was first learning programming so I am unsure how complex a program you can make with it, I would however suggest you give it a try.

I hope this helps.

Blender uses logic bricks. But, using Python code will get you much further with it's Game Engine (Read: Way god damn further)
GameMaker has a sort of logic brick-esque thing. But it's a bit simple for common uses. My best advice (Read: Tough Love) would be to go and learn a text coding language. I started on C++, but I know some people prefer Java or Python. Try one of those three and see where it takes you. You'll definitely benefit a lot from learning one of those.

Back in school, we saw turboC and it wasn't a good experience. But I guess I'll have no choice but dealing with the texts if I want to do anything about programming...Korban3 wrote:Blender uses logic bricks.

Thanks for the answers.

Or you could just mess around with logic gates using: http://wronex.com/logicgrid/

That's pretty cool! I don't understand it well enough to create any useful functions/outputs though.SteelRaven7 wrote:Or you could just mess around with logic gates using: http://wronex.com/logicgrid/

There are some examples you can load

Re: Does such a programming tool exist?
Sounds like what you need is LabView. It's generally used for robotics, but it has most of the functionality of text-based programming languages in a drag and drop block environment. It's a bit complicated, but it's used heavily throughout the industry.

Edit: It won't convert anything into C,C++,Java (though maybe there's a conversion / cross compiler out there), it's a stand-alone tool.
