Coding program is a dominant activity in programming cycle, nevertheless the equal attention must also given upon designing and evaluating the program in order to understanding the whole of the programming tasks. Unfortunately, these issues have not been addressed by current software visualization as a learning-aid tool. The development of 3De intended to help novice students to comprehend the multi forms of program from a higher level to a lower level within integrated environment. The basic idea of the system is to show students about the programming stages starting from designing problem-solving, developing code and validating logical flow of the program through visualizing multi level of program abstraction. Students preferred to construct their problem-solving visually, and 3De will simulate it to explain the program behaviour and data changing. A line-by-line auto generated syntax in C++ form will be produced accordingly and can be run in conventional C++ program developer.
