Blockly Games : About

Blockly Games is a series of educational games that teach programming.


It is designed for children who have not had prior experience with
computer programming. By the end of these games, players are ready to
use conventional text-based languages.
Puzzle is a quick introduction to Blockly's
shapes and how the pieces snap
together.
Maze is an introduction to loops and
conditionals. It starts simply, but every
level is more challenging than the last.
Bird is a deep-dive into conditionals.
Control-flow is explored with increasingly
complex conditions.
Turtle is a deep-dive into loops. Use
nested loops to paint a picture. Then
publish your art to Reddit for the world to
see.
Movie is an introduction to mathematical
equations. Use math to animate a movie.
Then publish your movie to Reddit for the
world to see.
Pond Tutor introduces text-based
programming. Levels switch back and
forth between blocks and actual
JavaScript in a text editor.
Pond is an open-ended contest to
program the smartest duck. Use either
blocks or JavaScript.
Blockly Games is a Google project to encourage tomorrow's
programmers. The games are designed to be self-paced and self-
teaching. Feel free to use Blockly Games both inside and outside the
classroom. All code is open source, see the developer's website for more
info or to download zip files for offline use. Please give us your feedback
as we continue to grow.
If you enjoy Blockly Games, we recommend the following sites for further
challenges:
● App Inventor — Use Blockly to write apps for your Android
phone or tablet.
● Wonder Workshop — Use Blockly to program robots, then
switch to text-based programming.
● Codecademy — Dive into JavaScript, Python, Ruby, or
PHP.
