What is RAPTOR?
RAPTOR is a flowchart-based programming environment, designed specifically to help students visualize their algorithms and avoid syntactic baggage. RAPTOR programs are created visually and executed visually by tracing the execution through the flowchart. Required syntax is kept to a minimum. Students prefer using flowcharts to express their algorithms, and are more successful creating algorithms using RAPTOR than using a traditional language or writing flowcharts without RAPTOR.
Comments and Reviews
I have the Mac version of Raptor, and for about three months or so, it just would not run.
After complaining about it on Facebook, somebody recommended that I try Jin, so I downloaded it, and as I was trying to install it, a message popped up that said I needed have the Java 6 Runtime environment installed for Jin to run, so I installed that, and just as I was about to start Jin, I decided to give Rapper another try, and amazingly enough, it started working again.
I am running Mac OS 10.10.
How did you install Raptor flow chart on your mac? did you have to use wine?
Hi, solofortitude.
I didn't install the flowchart program. I installed the chess client with the same name.
Raptor and Flowgorithm are more intuitive and use programming structure. Their ability to output the generated code is a helpful feature. The Raptor interface lacks bells and whistles which I think helps you to focus more on the problem. I use Flowgorithm for my lectures and Raptor for my own use. Some students like Raptor's drag and drop feature. Raptor and Flowgorithm are close competitors. Flowgorithm flowchart objects are color coded. IMHO Raptor and flowgorithm are more intuitive than Drakon.
