CoBlocks is a\u00a0visual coding language\u00a0<\/b>that lets you simply drag and drop\u00a0CoBlocks<\/b><\/p>\n

(blocks of code) to program your CoSpace.<\/p>\n

A CoBlock represents a snippet of code, or\u00a0statement<\/b>, which tells CoSpaces Edu to do something like starting a specific action in your scene.<\/p>\n

You can find the\u00a0<\/span>Code<\/span>\u00a0icon in the top-right toolbar.<\/span><\/p>\n

To program an item with CoBlocks, enable its use in CoBlocks.<\/p>\n

To do this, select the object you would like to use in your code, click\u00a0<\/span>Code<\/span>, and enable\u00a0<\/span>Use in CoBlocks<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are 2 main types of CoBlocks:\u00a0Expression\u00a0<\/b>and\u00a0Statement\u00a0<\/b>CoBlocks:<\/p>\n

Statement CoBlocks<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Statement CoBlocks often perform a specific\u00a0<\/span>action<\/span>. For example, you can make an item talk, using the\u00a0<\/span>say<\/span>\u00a0CoBlock.<\/span><\/p>\n

Expression CoBlocks<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Expression CoBlocks contain\u00a0values<\/b>. These values can be:<\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0Colors (red, green, blue)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0Numbers like 5 and 0.25<\/span><\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0Strings like “Hi there!”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u25cf\u00a0Other items in the scene<\/span><\/p>\n

Expression CoBlocks can be recognized by their round shape and are always placed into other CoBlocks:<\/p>\n
