+Chris Bristow makes a good point about Google Blockly's code generation capabilities. Blockly generates fairly nice code… so it'll work for explaining program structure, but the Maze object in this example does over-complicate things a bit with all that text.

Eventum Extension for MediaWiki
I couldn’t find a MediaWiki extension for Eventum when I needed one, so this evening I knocked one up.
It’s fairly basic, very unoptimised, and probably far from perfect, but it works for me, and someone might use it as the basis for something better. It uses PHPs MySQL library to open a connection to a database and execute a query, the results are then avilable to MediaWiki (but perhaps sadly don’t become part of the version controlled content).
To use it in a page add <eventum bug="123"/> where 123 is the number of the bug you’d like to query.
Output is formatted through an eventum template which you’ll have to create, the parameters of that template from 1-5 are, in this basic example, summary, created date, closed date, status title, and status color. e.g. {{eventum|An example summary|1st Nov 2008|2nd Nov 2009|Closed|#00FF00}}
