, 10:56, 26 March 2015→About your project
This project main idea is to let children who want to learn text based programming to export their project from the Turtle Blocks activity to a javascript file and the ability of running it independently of Turtle Blocks application.

Who are you making it for, and why do they need it?

Turtle Blocks export in Javascript is for those children who improve their understanding of variuos programming abstract concepts through Turtle Blocks and after that they feel the need of starting to code in a real programming language. This project will help them to understand better what is going on behind the scene because they can both see the real programming language code and also see a graphical representation. Because the project is intended to help beginners starting to code in javascript, its overall benefit is programming having fun

This project will help them to understand better what is going on behind the scene because they can both see the real programming language code and also see a graphical representation.As the project is intended to help beginners starting to code in javascript through analogy with block programs, this process will evolve quicker.
The Javascript export feature will be done using Javascript language. Also I will make use of the functionalities available already in Turtle Blocks JS project that interact with drawing canvas etc. Eventually the javascript code will have to import that files and run independently the generated source file.
* What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is from May 19 - August 22; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (27 June); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.

* Convince us, in 5-15 sentences, that you will be able to successfully complete your project in the timeline you have described. This is usually where people describe their past experiences, credentials, prior projects, schoolwork, and that sort of thing, but be creative. Link to prior work or other resources as relevant.
