Description

"It’s kind of like the Garage Band of coding." – Wired "Codea for iPad is a super slick way to write and run programs on your iPad." – Gizmodo Codea lets you create games and simulations — or just about any visual idea you have. Turn your thoughts into interactive creations that make use of iPad features like Multi-Touch and the accelerometer. We think Codea is the most beautiful code editor you'll use, and it's easy. Codea is designed to let you touch your code. Want to change a color, or an image? Tapping will bring up visual editors that let you choose exactly what you want. Codea is built on the Lua programming language. A simple, elegant language that doesn't rely too much on symbols — a perfect match for iPad. Here's how you use it: type your code. Press play to watch it run. Interact with it. Get creative. FEATURES • A fully featured 2D and 3D renderer • Lots of great example projects to learn from, including games • Touch your code: tap colors, images and sounds to adjust them • Export your finished projects to Xcode to produce real apps • Complete in-line reference documentation accessible from keyboard • Intelligent syntax highlighting and auto-completing code editor • Import your own assets from Dropbox • Full 2D and 3D physics engines for complex motion • Add parameters so you can tweak variables at runtime • Interact with accelerometer and multi-touch on your device • Generate retro-game sound effects • GLSL Shader Language support with live shader editor • Bluetooth keyboard support and keyboard shortcuts • Air Code: code live from your PC using WiFi • Much, much more IMPORTANT INFORMATION • Join the forums at https://talk.codea.io to ask questions, share ideas and get help when you need it • If you need help or wish to get in contact with us, please use the support link on this page • Privacy policy https://codea.io/privacy • Terms https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ SUBSCRIPTION • Codea is free to use for projects up to 500 lines, after which you can subscribe to Codea Pro for access to advanced features and unlimited project size • Monthly and yearly plans available • Lifetime one-time purchase also available • Pricing may vary by region. Your subscription will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings.

Version 3.18 2026-10-20
Advanced Projects • A new Advanced collection of projects shows off what the modern renderer can do: • Mini City shows off voxel model loading and 3D rendering ...Advanced Projects • A new Advanced collection of projects shows off what the modern renderer can do: • Mini City shows off voxel model loading and 3D rendering • Mercury creates liquid-like particles which reflect your environment • Portal Pool shows off a PBR rendered pool table… with portals • And we've revived our voxel engine for the modern runtime, with more to come iPhone Duo Support • Codea is ready for iPhone Duo. The project browser, create screen, editor and reference all adapt to the fold and to each pose • Your projects can respond too: read hinge.angle or define hingeChanged(current, previous) to react as the device folds, and use layout.orientation to check the current orientation Symbols • Create images from any SF Symbol with image.symbol("globe") • Choose weights, rendering modes and variable values, and recolor symbols with tint() • The code editor includes a symbol picker to browse and insert symbols, and it works on both the legacy and modern runtimes • See the new SF Symbols example Image Playground • Use pick.playground("a red panda astronaut") to open Image Playground from your code and get back the image or Genmoji the user creates • Requires a device with Apple Intelligence Microphone in Modern Codea • The mic API is now available in Modern Codea • Call mic.start() and read mic.amplitude and mic.frequency to build projects that respond to sound IMPROVEMENTS More New APIs • shape() now builds a single path from its drawing commands • font.metrics() reports metrics for the current font • image.type replaces the cubeMap and isVolume flags, and image.smooth joins image.filter • Modern Codea can load legacy .shader bundles • Native text rendering is now the default in Modern Codea • Lua's warn() now prints to the output pane • HEIC images are supported, and image loading respects EXIF orientation FIXES • Fixes editor issues that could cause text corruption or lost edits • Fixes crashes in Craft projects • The output pane now collapses repeated messages and stays responsive with lots of output • Improves memory handling for image-heavy projects, and images too large for the GPU now raise an error instead of crashing • Projects can now be stopped cleanly while a picker or other modal is showing • Many stability and performance improvements across the editor and runtime
