Abstract :
This paper describes the design of a script synthesis tool, named "Syncriptor", for non-experienced programmers in Squeak/Tweak. With this tool, users can synthesize or analyze multiple Etoys scripts of an object. Syncriptor is designed with programming by example and visual programming. Therefore, this tool can be used by non-expert users like children. All operations and effects of the tool are visual. Users manipulate the tool easily by a mouse and realize the effect of complex combined scripts with real time feed back
