A new app called "Codify" allows users to create, edit and run code on an iPad.
The application is currently available to download for $7.99. Once downloaded, users can create graphics, images, games and simulations on an iPad, and make use of the tablet's multi-touch display and accelerometer when coding.
As outlined in the app's release notes, features of Codify include:
Because of Apple's iOS app rules, you can't import or export projects. However, the application's developer has noted that an update adding sharing capabilities has been submitted to the App Store, though that this may be rejected by the approval team. As mentioned, Codify is currently available to download in the App Store for $7.99. It's compatible with the iPad only. Take a look at the application, and be sure to post your thoughts in the comments. [via MacRumors]
