That is a very challenging format, I've seen at least 2 other attempts
to teach programming using pictures, neither was very successful.
The fundamental problem being that programming (Scratch and
Turbovision aside) is a fundamentally textual process. How to
convey that in a pictorial style is hard to imagine, but you
obviously have some ideas. I look forward to seeing what you
produce.
