NoPumpG: Creating Interactive Graphics With Spreadsheet Machinery

Abstract

The spreadsheet has made computing power widely accessible to nonprogrammers. By adding a small number of new concepts to the basic spreadsheet framework NoPumpG makes it possible to create interactive graphics, including animation, of the sort seen in physics and geometry tutorial demonstrations, without programming. While not as powerful as some other systems of this kind, NoPumpG appears to offer a favorable balance between power and conceptual simplicity.
