    Hello,

    we are developing programming courses for children. They use the visual language Blockly, similar to projects like Scratch, Tinker or code.org. What is new about our system is that the code runs in Unity games. Basically our users are modding games.

    The first course is now available, for free. If you have kids or at least have an inner child, give it a try and let us know what you think.

    Hello, can you briefly tell me how did you integrate Google Blockly with Unity3d?

    Sure. For starters, create a html page with two canvas elements. One contains a blockly workspace, the other one contains a WebGL build of your Unity project. Then you need custom blocks that generate code like this. Specifically, use SendMessage() to call into the unity game. Then you use your new custom blocks, let blockly convert them to JavaScript and eval() the script, at which point the game gets those messages.
    Thats the overview, I hope it helps.
