NovaStelo

NovaStelo is a block-style programming environment for multi agent system, based on MIT Scratch.

NovaStelo is inspired from StarLogo and Scratch, more precisely StarLogo on the book "Turtles, Termites, and Traffic Jams" and Scratch 1.4. Both are of Resnick's great works.

NovaStelo is now built on Pharo Smalltalk 11.0. Almost all Model and UI are rewritten using Spec2.
