Development of IslayPub3.0 - Educational Programming Environment Based on State-Transition Diagrams

An enhanced version of IslayPub is developed in this study. IslayPub is an educational programming environment available on any browsers capable of HTML5 and JavaScript. Its unique feature is to describe the behavior of automatic characters in terms of state-transition diagram visually easy to understand even for children. The former version did not offer the functions of publishing what they created and receiving likes and comments from others. In this paper, we enhance IslayPub to include those two functions which will give more fun and motivation to the children.
