Scratch-like block interface for Love2D

[richwhite]

I am in the process of transitioning my students from creating their game with Scratch (http://scrath.mit.edu) to using Lua & Love2D ... I plan to spend the bit of the summer building out a scratch-like block based interface for them to make the transition into Lua a little easier (these are middle schoolers) - it would look and feel a bit like another project I created some time ago here - http://www.greenbushlabs.com/turtleblocks ... before I began though I wanted to inquire if perhaps anyone is aware of a Love2D block based building tool that may already exist ? ... That way I can contribute to their project rather than re-creating the wheel ?

Best Regards !

I haven't heard of anything like that, but it shouldn't be too hard to implement. I've used Scratch before in a class, and my main complaint with it was that it was so annoying to rearrange the blocks based on one small change. I guess that's just caused by how the interface works, but it still annoyed me.

What version are you teaching? (LuaJIT, 5.3, etc.)
Are there any "more advanced" features you intend to implement? (coroutines, custom for-loops, etc.)

I actually remember someone here creating some visual programming game or something a while back, but they stopped, and iirc nothing was released, just some images and videos.
