Mindscript is a generic codeless and visual programming system. The aim is to enable users to create computer software without directly coding in a programming language. It can be extended by software developers.
It's generally used for making programs related to cryptography, for which it contais several ways of enciphering or deciphering in AES or DES ciphers, also containing the ability to encrypt files; graphic design, with options to draw several geometric shapes and display them on the computer screen; and maths, for which it contains all the basics. By using commands from related categories (Eg.: cryptography and maths) it's possible to create powerful programs using a simple visual programming language.
Mindscript visual programming language has nothing to do with the Lego Mindstorm software development system, apart from the fact they both feature a code-less, visual programming style.
