BLOCKLY FOR VDESKTOP APPLICATION

[Fouad CHOUAG]

hi;

i wonder if I can use BLOCKY or insert this framework in Desktop application, 

My aim is devgelopping New IDE based on Blockly language and this IDE produce game 

or application runnig on windows or linux (desktop application).

the secone question : Blockly framework us based on what technologie (by technologie I mean, for example

Component oeiented frame work ....oe what exactely)..

best regards.

Blockly has three implementations. The web version is the primary and most up-to-date, written in JavaScript with some Closure (Google JS library), and makes heavy use of SVG in the rendering. Blockly for Android is written in Java, and Blockly for iOS is written in Swift.

If you can embed a web view in your desktop application, you can run Blockly. We've also seen developers use libraries like Electron to write web pages with JavaScript and HTML, embedding Blockly, and making the whole thing a single desktop application.  That is the route I'm going with the updated Developer Tools.

tHANKS mR. Andrew for response;

So from your response I understand that , Blockly environnement must run on Browser, and to developpe a desktop application we must use an IDE that integrate browser on it, to use blickly framewoek, is true what I understand ?

thanks

It needs a WebView.  Not necessarily a whole browser.

I'm not understanding your IDE comment.

tHANKS mR aNDREW FOR RESPONSE.;

Really I want to developpe an IDE that allow users to drag and drop some components to create an application (game for example)

and this IDE must offer to users adding custom components without coding (for dummy user for example with no programming skills).....

Without framework based on fractal model for exemple this task is very hard (Wht do you think Mr Andrew ? )

And  I find Blockly very interesting (it seems that is easy to do my IDE -  what is your opinion here Mr Andrew ?), but  i wonder if  this kind of framework (hybride = webviem + native ) has similare caracteristics VS native application (Speed response, accuracy ...etc)?

thanks and best regards

Blockly in a hybrid application should be just as responsive as it is in a normal web browser, which has been sufficient to meet the needs of our users. You can test the performance by using any of our demos.  In particular, try the "Airstrike!" and "Spaghetti!" buttons in the playground.

Over the past year and a half, we have spent quite a bit of effort minimizing potential janky issues, with good success.

Your idea about using Blockly is a game idea is quite appropriate.  For instance, see the editor integrated into GameFroot.
