I am unable to figure out how to use this.

I move blocks around. Some blocks I can attach to the bottom of "run this program" block and they clearly run. But I was unable to add any more blocks that did anything.

The screen is two dimensional so I was expecting to be able to put processing blocks anywhere. Sure I can but they do nothing.

What's missing (for me at least) is an explanation of the user interface.

The interface needs some work if you're not familiar with block based programming environments. Dropping things in place is a bit difficult compared to Scratch or Snap.

The blocks with a square side are commands you can attach to each other to make a program. The round blocks go in the round slots on other blocks.

You can click on them to run them without them being connected to a "run this" block. Whatever has a yellow outline is running.

Thank you. I got a little further this time. The UI needs a LOT of work to make it friendlier. It's difficult to enter numerical values, and often the values just go blank.

I suppose there's a reason node editors use a block and line interface mainly.

I'd actually prefer a tree-structured approach, where you could turn a subgraph into a single block, allowing you to structure appropriately.

Uh if it wasn't clear, I was asking HN for a bit of help. The editor does look very cool.
