Quilt is a ClojureScript app designed to teach kids how to program.
It lets kids make basic drawings by writing code, either in a visual editor where they select functions and fill in parameters, or in a source editor where they can actually type in the code.
Actually, it's harder to explain than it is to just show you. Give it a whirl at:
In no particular order:
- Read drawing name from query params
- Scripted mode for teaching that will show kids where to click, step by step, to make a drawing
- Cloud load and save so kids can show off their drawings outside of class
- Nicer styling
- Functional mode

Put this in your Emacs config file:
(setq cider-cljs-lein-repl "(do (use 'figwheel-sidecar.repl-api) (start-figwheel!) (cljs-repl))")
Navigate to a clojurescript file and start a figwheel REPL with cider-jack-in-clojurescript or (C-c M-J)
lein clean
lein figwheel dev
Figwheel will automatically push cljs changes to the browser.
Wait a bit, then browse to http://localhost:3449.
lein clean
lein doo phantom test once
The above command assumes that you have phantomjs installed. However, please note that doo can be configured to run cljs.test in many other JS environments (chrome, ie, safari, opera, slimer, node, rhino, or nashorn).
To compile clojurescript to javascript:
lein clean
lein cljsbuild once min
