Kit4Kits
framework for software construction kits
1999-2000
Slaughter, A. H.; Strohecker, C. (Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories)

      A Java framework supports development of "creativity support tools" premised on Constructionist approaches to learning and learning research. Coders create 2D graphical kits in which end-users combine elements and operations particular to a given conceptual domain. The constructions yield colorful animated forms. The Kit4Kits includes code for specifying, tracking, altering and reporting on system states; for creating structure, function and appearances of objects; for generating screen layout items and widgets; and for capturing and dealing with actions in event-driven systems.
