	<p>Their <a href="http://blockly-demo.appspot.com/blockly/demos/maze/index.html">maze demo</a> is really cool, it&#8217;s a &#8220;training&#8221;; you have to resolve it by building the code&#8230;<br />(it took my slow brain few minutes to understand the system and &#8220;resolve&#8221; the puzzle in a generic way)</p>


	<p>Not for core programming, but <strong>could be a nice tool to allow users to define &#8220;behaviors&#8221; / &#8220;rules&#8221;</strong> ... Could also be <strong>a nice way to introduce programming to kids</strong>?</p>


	<p>The system (javascript) is open source. Hosted on <a href="http://code.google.com/p/google-blockly/source/checkout">google code</a></p>      </div>
