12Blocks- What can you do with a dozen blocks?About

12Blocks lets you easily program the Parallax Propeller with blocks

With 12Blocks, you don't have to memorize code syntax or worry about resources like cogs, objects, or data. 12Blocks makes programming fun, by giving you powerful tools to do things like:

drive a robot with servos

draw graphics for vga/tv

react to keyboard/mouse input

communicate with a terminal

output music tones, wav files, record and play back sounds, and synthesize speech

interface with sensors like the PING and a compass

perform input/output on the pins: measure frequency,pulse, count edges...

Program with blocks

Simply snap blocks together to create powerful programs

Powerful control blocks

From repeat loops to state machines, messages and behaviors

Graphics for TV and VGA
