Abstract

In this paper, aspects of creation of the visual programming system VIM based on “filmification” of application algorithms and methods are considered. Abstract self-explanatory films, which are series of frames/pictures with video, animation, audio, and other multimedia effects, are used for presentation of the method. Each frame of such a film corresponds to a certain stage, called computational step, of problem solution. A hierarchical organization of objects of such a system is suggested. The objects include both multimedia components, which demonstrate properties or an idea of the algorithm, and corresponding template programs serving for automated generation of the program created on the basis of the film specification and formulas defined by the user during the input dialog.
