All Things Blockly!

Blockly is a visual library that allows you to snap blocks together to generate code in different programming languages such as JS, Lua, and Python (and Dart and PHP).

If you want to try it out, go to these links:

If you want to share your code with us, just use this webpage, and click the link

button in the top right corner for easy sharing.

How does this relate to anything? I believe Scratch 3.0's editor is based off of Blockly. Also, App Inventor runs off of Blockly and has the full version. (I think code.org uses Blockly, too, but we don't talk about code.org around here.

)

Anyways, what do you think of it? Feel free to share any cool screenshots or code!

Bump, maybe it wasn't the best idea to make a topic at 10:21, no one saw this topic XD

Since I technically can't bump the topic as it's still on the first page, I'll share this image of a factorial function (recursion ftw

)

Yes

I mean, “not len(x)” is a pretty bad way to check if something is empty.
It works, but isn't efficient. I'd prefer “len(x) == 0” or even: “x == str()”.

Edit Oct 20 2021: No longer agree with this.

x == “”
would that work?

Yes, but I used quotes to tell the code snippets

“Theres a such thing as \”escaped quotes\“ or ‘single quotes’”

I'ma try to make more weird code xD

is this just scratch but put into code.org

There is literally no in…

scratch is built on blockly

code for the repeat block (I think)

Yep. It's really visible when you inspect element n the editor
