“…We believe that free annotation to visual objects in a specific representation is useful in the context of program comprehension. This seems to be plausible because the future version of CodeMetropolis [2] will support of code annotation.…”

Software visualization has become a major technique in program comprehension. Although many tools visualize the structure, behavior, and evolution of a program, they have no concern with how a tool user has understood it. Moreover, they miss the stuff the user has left through trial-and-error processes of his/her program comprehension task. This paper presents a source code visualization tool called CodeForest. It uses a forest metaphor to depict source code of Java programs. Each tree represents a class within the program and the collection of trees constitutes a three-dimensional forest. CodeForest helps a user to try a large number of combinations of mapping of software metrics on visual parameters. Moreover, it provides two new types of support: leaving notes that memorize the current understanding and insight along with visualized objects, and automatically recording a user's actions under understanding. The left notes and recorded actions might be used as historical data that would be hints accelerating the current comprehension task.

“…b) Games engines: Balogh and Beszdes introduced CodeMetropolis [4] -a code visualisation in the popular MineCraft games environment. The analogy used in their visualisation is essentially similar to that of CodeCity -files are "sky-scrapers" -albeit ones that are built out of blocks.…”

“…Since the original CodeCity does not offer a great number of interactions for a developer with a city, there has been some work to extend it. One interesting approach is CodeMetropolis [2], where software cities are represented in Minecraft, allowing for better collaboration within the Minecraft game. Showing similar data as CodeCity, CodeMetropolis allows the user to walk around the city and interact closely with the buildings (this is the source code).…”

As globally distributed software development has become generalized, social coding platforms like Github are becoming increasing needed for team collaboration. To share and help understand the overview of projects among teams, source code visualization is useful. In this paper, we present a new visual software development tool, Rocat, a city-like software code visualization in virtual reality. In addition, we integrate Rocat with a GitLabbased code hosting service, Kataribe. By integrating Rocat into Kataribe, fine-grained code information can be visualized, and city visualization can be easily shared. We present our tool and provide the features of Rocat on Kataribe. A Screencast for demonstration is available at the following URL.
