His team&rsquo;s upcoming tool Oh!My!Game, a browser-based toolkit for building Flash games, lets you pump out a high-quality indie production without ever typing a line of code. &ldquo;Even a fairly useless programmer like myself can build functional gameplay in a matter of hours,&rdquo; Grefsrud tells Wired.co.uk. &ldquo;We take away the math and code and leave the modelling of gameplay.&rdquo; The plan is to encourage designers with the code-free environment, not programmers with years of experience in esoteric computer languages like C  . &ldquo;I think programming models need to reflect the task at hand rather than the way computers process information,&rdquo; he says. So instead, the kit will use visual environments, drag and drop tools and a library of common functions and logic algorithms. The most experienced and brave creators can then go into the code and tweak to their hearts content, like a plucky web developer stripping back Adobe Dreamweaver to fiddle with the HTML underneath.
