1. A method for programming and executing a computer program in an immersive visual programming environment, said method comprising the steps of:

  • assembling data objects and algorithmic components selected from a set of pre-fabricated virtual components to construct the computer program;

    compiling the computer program while providing visual and audio clues to a user in response to a detected compiler error, said clues indicating a location and nature of the detected compiler error, andexecuting the computer program by initiating sequential flow of said data objects through said algorithmic components wherein the flow of said data objects and interaction among respective ones of said data objects is visually displayed to the user, wherein a visible execution pointer moves through the assembled algorithmic components during the execution step to indicate an instruction that is currently being performed.
