Blockly for iOS

Blockly is a library for building drag-and-drop visual editors for
JavaScript, Python, Lua, and several other programming languages.

Blockly for iOS is similar to its web counterpart in terms of API, but is:

  • Optimized for native iOS performance and easier integration in iOS apps
  • Written in Swift, with backwards compatibility for Objective-C projects
  • Designed with better touch support, such as custom input controls and
    multi-touch

Here is a demo of using Blockly for iOS to program a "turtle":
