Some comment from my side.

First, there really should be some tutorial examples included, so that anyone 
that is too lazy to read manuals can have a quick look on what it does and how 
it works. Those should be editable, and could even have "bugs" so that you (as 
the student) are invited to fix/improve them.

Found some bugs:

- "Open Graph..." menu item I got a crash (reported as bug 213003 to "Rocs" 
product, which unfortunately has no assignee). That was after I added some 
nodes. May be a Qt bug, though.

- When you start the app, the "editor" is shown, but the Editor "tab button" 
is not selected. Clicking on the three buttons "Editor/Debugger/Run" seems to 
randomly open/close the respective items.

- Same bug is about the "Node Properties" dialog, that appears when I click on  
a selected node. The "Show" name/value buttons are inverse to their click 
state (and those should probably be check boxes).

- That "Node Properties" dialog is not a parent of the main window, so that 
when you click main window, the dialog hides behind it. Maybe just make it a 
dock into the main window, so that it can float or be fixed.

- Those six "..." buttons should at least have a short text if there is no 
icon yet.

Didn't look at the source.

Otherwise the idea is very nice. While you could draw simple graphs with many 
other applications (Kivio?), something that is "scriptable" really makes sense 
to learn how transformations can be made. Ah yes, provide a good weighted tree 
rebalancer as an example ;)
