Thank you Haroldo-ok for the quick reply.

When i end the texts I promise to send you a copy. In this texts i am trying to develop the idea of coding with blocks in ANY SYSTEM. There are blockly for Java, Python, Lua, Flutter, Micropython, also there are a lot of game engines using this "technique" as Stencil, GameMaker, Godot, etc... And YOU are in this groups. The idea of using blocks it's a great idea, giving the posibility to the people TO THINK in the code, more than (if i make a mistake in the sintaxis? where is the error... i cannot find the error!.

That's the idea.

When i end the text, I promise to send you the pdf and the ppt of the class. (I am Teacher/Developer and.... Geologist too, and many other things too like 8bit computer collector) --->a little bit of everything.

By the way, i am ZX Spectrum programmer, and i have the dream to see the blockly mode into an engine for create ZX Spectrum games.

Again, Thank you for replying so soon.

Many thanks! Sounds like a cool idea! 😉

BTW, there are a few block-based programming languages that generate C code; they could be adapted to support the ZX Spectrum

HAROLDO! I AM YOUR FAN NOW!.

IF YOU CAN.... THIS COULD BE A GREAT IDEA FOR MAKE A NEW ENGINE FOR DEVELOPING GAMES FOR ZX SPECTRUM. Write me if i can collaborate with the project. (i have several ZX Spectrums) CZ Spectrum 48k, Sinclair Spectrum 2000, TK85 (Microdigital). ----> I have many other 8bits computers too, but is not important. Again. Thank you for replying and let me know IF YOU REALLY PLAN TO DO IT, I PROMISE TO HELP IN ANY OF MY POSIBILITIES. (Sorry for my english, i am Spanish talker).

Thanks! I'll take the offer into consideration! 👍

I am thinking about making a similar tool for visually generating code for the CVBasic compiler, but its possible that the current approach (individual variables) won't work when one has lots of sprites available. Maybe using a more scratch-like block language would work better on this situation, even though the conversion of the code would have to be less direct.

email me directly and for sure I will do my best to help you in the translation or if you want to test the engine. I will be glad to help, that's all.

Hi Haroldo. I wrote to you some days ago, 275 days to be exact. I was wondering if you have the zx spectrum ide for coding in mind. If not... i WANT to COLABORATE with you in the commodore and atari projects ide for making games... as translator.  I can translate the english or russian text to the spanish, FOR FREE, i only wish to be in the credits, that's all, and in this case, the only interest is in help. So. Take in mind the offering and write me. I have a youtube channel about ARCADE repairs. I do this for living, and I share the videos with people only for fun and for showing my work.  (https://www.youtube.com/@ARCADEAR_2025) and (https://www.instagram.com/arcadear_2025/)

Thanks! I'm not too worried about translating the tool at the moment, but may end up doing it in the future.
