Blockly

Blockly demo

Blockly is a library that adds a visual code editor to web , Android , and iOS apps. The Blockly editor uses interlocked, graphic blocks to represent programming concepts such as variables, logical expressions, loops and more. It allows users to apply programming principles without worrying about the syntax . The algorithms shown can be exported as JavaScript or Python code.

The code is licensed under Apache License 2.0 and can be used, modified and distributed freely in any environment.

Blockly using applications

Blocky is often used in learning applications. The student is given a tool with which he can achieve desirable goals (app, Minecraft mods) without knowing the syntax of the necessary programming languages .

• MIT App Inventor - Android app development
• Code.org - environment for learning programming principles through play
• Open Roberta - Fraunhofer IAIS initiative to learn robot programming
• Blockly Games - learn programming through play
• IoBroker - building automation
• Verge3D uses Blockly as a scripting environment for WebGL applications
