User Customization? (Delphi.. or other)

[Tiago2]

Hi, im trying to add to my application the ability for a user to customize the softwares ability. Something sorta like Roulette Xtreme's System Editor

Roulette Xtreme - System Designer

and/or a non-programmers aproach aswell. Kinda like The Games Factory 2 approach for a non-programmer to develop games.

Clickteam.com - Creative Tools for the Creative Age

Or like 3ds max event based particle system, easy for a non programmer. http://www.cebas.com/products/images/pyro3/pflow.jpg

Any ideas on how I could achive something like them. Or a push in the right direction. Been seaching google for a while now but Im not sure on the keywords I should be searching for. Any help? Much appreciated

All of your examples appear to involve an interpreted language being created. The complexity of the language and presentation varies depending on the topic, but you basically need to understand compiler theory to be able to compile/interpret the code you are allowing the user to create. The trick is making the "coding" elegant enough that the user doesn't realize he/she is programming.
