Answers.Body: <p>I don't know of a visual-oriented tool anything like LARP, which looks very interesting. If you're unable to find a replacement for that, perhaps you could move up one level of abstraction and work with something which appears to use a pseudo-code input, with most of the supporting code automated. Multi-OS, free, OSS, GPL license. Oh, yea, it's also in French and aimed at French educational standards.
