(Flash video, couple of minutes, work-safe)
Joypad& circular menu based coding demo in a game. Nicest thing I've seen
from MS in a very long time, very "Dave-like" as well and clearly quite
fast. I think that at 2/3rd into the video she's actually using the in-game
interface to define the way a second player is controlled and behaves; it
seems to go quite far.
Sadly it doesn't look like the game is running while being re-programmed so
I'm not sure we can count it as "livecoding" and I'm less then excited about
the music "tree".
Worth a look, it's a game but that's still a child on stage impressing a
audience with how quickly she can program fun stuff. I don't like having to
admit being impressed by a commercial presentation, least of all by a
company like MS. But. Yeah.
Cheers,
Kas.
