And here’s the notebook from the first game I ever developed (Wheeler’s Treasure, 2009. I wish I still had the code for it!)

I’ve always used visuals to code, so this feature is personal. For example, here’s my Codea notepad as it currently lives in my iPad

They scroll with your code and live with your project. When you share your project, you’re sharing a sketchbook of ideas as well as code
