After I placed turn left after move forward, what was my first instinct? Same as yours, I wanted to right-click move forward and place the copy after turn left.

#32I made a prime sieve: http://i.imgur.com/Elk5A.png
It was pretty fun.
JS generated isn't so bad..
var n;
var A;
var i;
var x;
var j;
n = 100;
A = [];
for (i = 0; i Re: Google Blockly - a visual programming language
#33Can this program be made any shorter? http://www.dodaj.rs/f/1K/vW/2gLz63rl/blockly.png
Looping left, forward, right, forward works for this particular maze, though it can get caught in potential corners types.

#34I'm surprised about the negative criticism. Looks like it would be a great teaching tool for non-computer programmers.
great tool for someone who embed python/javascript in their apps

#36I don't understand. 1st it was part of AppInventor lab experiment. Google closed it in December and MIT took it over. Now it's back? Why?
Not enough Google brand ratio in it, I guess.
"Google blocky" > 50% brand.

Here's one that runs the fastest through this particular maze (I noticed there's always a wall on the right side when we need to make a left turn):

#38The name of this language immediately made me think of the blocky.io (http://blocky.io/) visual programming language, which was written in Common Lisp by David O'Toole before this language was developed. Blocky.io is very similar to this language, in more then just name, it even has its own MIT scratch like interface: http://blocky.io/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Screenshot-....

#40I can't seem to find the end condition for the Maze demo. There is no 'goal_reached?'
There isn't. I had to enclose the algorithm in a while (true) loop and if you reach the goal the program stops automatically. Here is a screenshot: http://imgur.com/0mape
