Hello everyone!

Jay Reynolds Freeman's Pixie Scheme is available for the iPad:
<http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pixie-scheme-iii/id401023057?mt=8>

Gambit Scheme should compile for the iPad - it was available for the
iPhone until Apple pulled it, but the sources for the iOS app are still
part of the distribution.

hth,

warmest regards,

Ralph

There is "iScheme for the iPad" app (R5RS)
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ischeme-for-the-ipad/id422628070?mt=8
It comes with code examples from Structure and Interpretation of
Computer Programs (SCIP) book.

Kind regards,

Note that Gambit REPL is now available on the app store (since
yesterday). It has a few new features, including built-in
documentation (the R5RS document and the Gambit manual).

What kind of graphics?

1) turtle graphics
2) webView
3) pictures
4) OpenGL
5) ?

That's currently possible. You have access to a Documents folder
which you can read/write using the standard Scheme I/O procedures.

Interesting... what does that involve?

At least something simple, either turtlegraphics,
or low level segment oriented. I mean simple for CS education...

I don't know the implementation details, but some audio or video
software on the iPad have a button by which you can send the output
by wifi to any AirPlay device : a Mac, another iPad or iPhone, an Apple-TV
connected to a TV or a video-projector, a speaker like iHome iw1, etc.
Cool for demos.
