FlowForge is a visual-based programming IDE (Similiar to Unreal Engine blueprints) that helps programmers create programs with drag and drop nodes. With a modern UI and simplistic approach. It's a toy Visual programming language I created for fun, but if I ever create a game engine in the future, I will definetely use this for the scripting :)

Features

• Drag and drop functionality for nodes
• Simulate and run programs within the IDE
• Basic Functions: Print, Branch, Input, Delay, Loop, and Conditional-Loop.
• Arithmetic Operations, Comparators and Logic Gates
• Step-by-step execution mode for debugging
