About DojoGaiden Blocks

DojoGaiden Blocks is a beginner friendly tool for learning how to create computer programs. It uses easy to understand blocks to enable you to assemble computer programs of many types. You can build programs such as basic learning exercises, rich interactive games and even programs for interacting with electronics using a variety of microcontroller boards.

We built DojoGaiden Blocks to use for our Ridgefield Park, NJ CoderDojo sessions. We've used it to create platformer and RPG games. We even used DojoGaiden to create programs to interact with Minecraft to automate world building.

When you build your block program in DojoGaiden you have many options for running your program. If you build a game with DojoGaiden Blocks, you can run it directly from the DojoGaiden workspace. If you build a CircuitPython program, you can download your program onto any CircuitPython enabled microcontroller, such as a CircuitPython Express board or single board computer, such as a Raspberry PI, which has been configured to run CircuitPython.
