A Squeak/Smalltalk-based programming environment and framework that supports low-effort construction of graphical tools by employing a data-driven perspective and a script-based programming model.

A programming environment and framework that supports interactive, data-driven, scriptable construction of graphical tools with low effort. It is implemented in Squeak/Smalltalk.

##How to Install

1. Get Squeak 4.6 or later with a recent CogVM for your operating system.
2. If not already integrated, load Metacello. Learn how it works.
3. Finally, load VIVIDE into your Squeak image:

Metacello new
  baseline: 'Vivide';
  repository: 'github://hpi-swa/vivide/repository';
  load.

Then, create and enter a new animated Morphic project. There, your can open Vivide with VivideLight open.
