Description
"It’s kind of like the Garage Band of coding." – Wired
"Codea for iPad is a super slick way to write and run programs on your iPad." – Gizmodo
Codea lets you create games and simulations — or just about any visual idea you have. Turn your thoughts into interactive creations that make use of iPad features like Multi-Touch and the accelerometer.
We think Codea is the most beautiful code editor you'll use, and it's easy. Codea is designed to let you touch your code. Want to change a color, or an image? Tapping will bring up visual editors that let you choose exactly what you want.
Codea is built on the Lua programming language. A simple, elegant language that doesn't rely too much on symbols — a perfect match for iPad.
Here's how you use it: type your code. Press play to watch it run. Interact with it. Get creative.
FEATURES
• A fully featured 2D and 3D renderer
• Lots of great example projects to learn from, including games
• Touch your code: tap colors, images and sounds to adjust them
• Export your finished projects to Xcode to produce real apps
• Complete in-line reference documentation accessible from keyboard
• Intelligent syntax highlighting and auto-completing code editor
• Import your own assets from Dropbox
• Full 2D and 3D physics engines for complex motion
• Add parameters so you can tweak variables at runtime
• Interact with accelerometer and multi-touch on your device
• Generate retro-game sound effects
• GLSL Shader Language support with live shader editor
• Bluetooth keyboard support and keyboard shortcuts
• Air Code: code live from your PC using WiFi
• Much, much more
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• Join the forums at https://talk.codea.io to ask questions, share ideas and get help when you need it
• If you need help or wish to get in contact with us, please use the support link on this page

LIVE CODING
- Run in New Window: you can now run projects in a new window and keep the editor open
- Live Coding: when you edit code which is running in a new window, it will update live
NEW
- Projects can be opened in new windows (long press the project icon)
- Codea tries to understand the types of your variables better
- This should result in better autocomplete
- We now support manual type annotation in comments, simply type three `-` characters above a variable declaration or function
- These type annotations will help Codea provide better autocomplete
- Updates LuaSocket to latest version
OBJ-C
- Objective-C methods and properties now autocomplete
- Callbacks can now work with BOOL pointers
- Struct arguments are supported in Lua callbacks
- Objective-C Sets: you can now use `objc.set()` to create an NSSet
- Objective-C Colors: Codea colors are now bridged to Objective-C. This means you can do things like `view.backgroundColor = color(128)`
- You can now use `vec2` where you would use a `CGPoint` in the `objc` library. For example: `uiTextView:setContentOffset_(vec2(0, 100))`
FIXED
- Animation example project fix
- Roller Coaster example project fix
- Sounds Plus example project fix
- Improved the Project Browser's sidebar behaviour when rotating or changing size
- Improved the animation when opening projects to be more seamless
- Fixes when adjusting editor settings in a scrolled file (shouldn't lose position)
- Fixes Project Browser filter bar turning black briefly when closing a project
- Fixes a crash when denying screen recording permission
Thanks to Jean-François Pérusse and Unsung Lee for their amazing work on this release!

The Objective-C Update
This is a big update! It includes bindings for native Objective-C APIs under the `objc` namespace
Now you can do things like implement your own game controller support, call web sockets and URL sessions, use pathfinding and octrees from GameplayKit, access MIDI interfaces and much more
Check the Objective-C section of the Lua chapter in the documentation for details
This update was authored by contributor @jfperusse, say hi (and thanks!) on Codea Talk if you enjoy it
Also Included:
- Improvements to Craft. You can now set a main scene and have its callbacks automatically called
- Entities can have callbacks for update, fixedUpdate and destroyed
- We also have fixes to find / replace, opening reference from your code, and dependency loading

Arbtegus,
Great app, one issue
On my IPhone, some of the resolution in the craft example projects dont look correct, like in the voxel terrain. the inventory only seems to show 3 blocks instead of the rest. Other then that, no issues!
RoryBlyth,
Long time user: Please let us pay you MORE!
1) I've been using Codea for years... and years... and *years*. Started on the original iPad (yes: iPad generation 1). Now I'm on an M1 iPad Pro. That's a long time, my friends.
/ 2) I paid once and have benefitted from all the updates. Where's the benefit for *you*?
/ 3) Developer: I rarely say this, but you should charge more. Or add optional subscriptions for those of us who want to keep supporting the app. Give us the option to pay $100/year, and I'll be the first to sign up. (Provide options for $20/year, $50/year, $75/year, $100/year... and more?)
/ 4) I've never felt so NOT ripped off in all my App Store life. Codea hasn't just been fun; it's helped me through periods of horrible depression. Lua plus game development on a tablet? Beautiful.
/ 5) Couldn't ask for more. Every one of these five stars was earned.

keithrdavis,
Nicely done application!
I used to use Pythonista 3 and Python for my programming needs on iOS. It seems that application is now floundering without any new releases.
I ran across Codea and gave it a try. I am glad I did! The app is very professional looking and easy to use. It is true what they say about creating complex apps in minutes. Now if we could just update the XCode export to include assets and cleanup the project warnings. Great job!

EddyCA,
The most versatile iPad coding app, ever!
This is not a toy app. It’s a serious Lua IDE with serious set of very good libraries that allow you to create non-trivial apps of your own. It’s very suitable to learn coding (i.g lua) and a platform to create apps you want to. I literally have been coding with this app while I am standing on the train during my commute.
sun conure mango,
I have some questions
I just bought the app. And I don’t know how to change the language I want to learn python is there a way to change the programming language? Or is it only Luna bc I find it a hard language
Kneeboarding,
Amazing!!!
I can actually make an app on my iPad! It's so awesome!!!!!!!
Edit: I have an iPad 2, and I like to develop on it. You guys said craft support was coming soon, and you cut off support for iOS 9! Are you kidding me, bring this back. I was promised craft support, and I want to get it!

yaboitmainmastakush,
A Fantastic Tool!!!!
This makes the new iPad I just got that much more insane. Developing good games in iOS... Mind blown... Not to mention the developers responses to reviews are funny and attentive. This is money well spent and highly recommended!
749172930,
Great programming program.
I use this program all the time.
Yes it can be hard at times but Codea chat lets you talk with much better users to help you out.
In summary I rate it 5 stars

JoeGuru,
I Love These Guys
These guys made a usable LUA IDE for an iPad and, get this, maintained it! As a professor who teaches this stuff, this is one of the most useful teaching apps as well as a legitimate development app. So there. Just get it.
Doomie 72,
Codea keeps crashing
Codea need bug fixes right now because it keeps crashing every time I try to my documents
Also please add a export as obj. function to the voxel editor, this would cut the annoyance of restoring examples removing your voxel model you are currently working on and time.
