Flowgrammer is a programming tool that converts a pseudo language in flow chart form to actual source codes in programming languages C and Pascal. The flow chart is icon-based. The icons not only symbolize the standard flowcharting constructs, but modern programming constructs as well. Both structured and unstructured flow charts are supported. It provides an easy-to-use graphical interface for the construction of the flow chart. All the programmer has to do is to express his logic in a flow chart and the Flowgrammer translates the flowchart to an actual source code ready to be compiled. This effectively reduces the time and effort spent in the development of a computer program. Flowgrammer has been shown to achieved its purpose of providing accurate equivalent source codes for flow charts of various applications. Flowgrammer is intended for those who are not proficient in actual programming but want to develop their own application programs. As such, only basic data structures are supported. To extend further its usage to experienced programmers, complex data structures such as pointers and objects will have to be supported. Other icons reflective of more complex tasks can be also be added.
