ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Max (software)

Max is like a big box of toys that you can use to create your own music or art. Inside the box are different pieces called "objects" that you can connect together like Lego blocks. Each object does a different thing, like making a sound or changing the color of a picture.

You can tell the objects what to do by clicking on them and typing in instructions. For example, you might tell a sound object to play a certain note, or tell a color object to turn red.

Max is special because it allows you to create your own customized toys that can do exactly what you want them to do. You can also share your toys with other people who have Max, so they can play with them too!
