If you want to play around a little bit with Io, we have an experimental Io mode on CodeCombat, so you can play in your browser: http://codecombat.com/play

If you want to play around a lot with Io, you could help us extend the parser so that it doesn't break after level 10. :P https://github.com/dariusf/iota
