Boardwalk is a software tool which enables you to create multiplayer board games. Subsequent versions of Treenimation will add support for games with 2D animation. Treenimation is based on a powerful yet easy to learn, object-oriented scripting language called Treescript. Non-programmers can create drag-and-drop games, and both novice and advanced programmers can use Treescript to add functionality to these games. Boardwalk will run on the XO Laptop (Linux), and its sister project, Treenimation (also Treescript-based) runs under Windows.

 

What sets Treescript apart from other languages is its dual-syntax capability, which defaults to prefix mode (all operators come before their operands), and also gives you the option of infix mode (binary operators come in-between their operands). When prefix mode is enabled, Treescript resembles Lisp, but when infix mode is enabled, it looks a lot like Java (Treescript is based on Java).
