About:
Carcode is an experiment in programming education. The idea is to give beginning programmers carcode, which provides an animated car they can drive around the screen either using the keyboard or programmatically through a simple API. By working on a series of problems (such as "park the car in parking space A"), beginners learn to program in an engaging and goal-driven environment with which they already familiar.

Release focus: Major feature enhancements

Changes:
API documentation has been added. The user interface has been updated with an objectives window, a scoreboard window, and a new main menu. Level scripting and car scripting have been modified to use OOP style.
