Introduction to Blocks
Starting Out

Welcome to Blockly programming! This platform uses visual block-based programming to teach coding concepts through an interactive game.

Understanding the Blockly Workspace

The Blockly workspace is where you'll build your programs by connecting blocks together. Here's what you need to know:

  • Toolbox: The left panel contains all available blocks, organized by category (Movement, Actions, etc.)
  • Workspace: The main area where you drag and connect blocks to create your program
  • Block Editor: This is your workspace - drag blocks here and connect them together
  • Connecting Blocks: Blocks snap together like puzzle pieces. Each block has connection points that fit with other blocks
  • Run Code: Press this to execute your program and see it run in the game

Your First Program

To complete this level, drag the move forward block from the Movement category in the toolbox onto the workspace. Connect it to the when run block that's already there. The move forward block will make your character take one step forward.

Press the Run button to execute your program and watch your character move!
