Blockly Games
Blockly Games is a series of interactive and challenging games designed to develop student skills in a range of computer programming techniques and algorithm-based solutions. Students solve problems from simple puzzles to more complex challenges involving loops, conditions, blocks and text-based languages. Students can select from several games, most of which contain ten levels, and some contain supportive information describing the use of functions, logic, loops and variables.
