Hello all!

I'm wondering if what I need is possible with Blockly.  I'm looking to build a standalone webapp that takes multiple user inputs, stores them in variables, and then displays them embedded into a page that can then be saved/exported to PDF. The questions asked would depend on the previously answered question.  I know it's possible to get the user inputs and store them in variables, as well as use if statements to display only certain questions, but is it possible to do the rest?

To put it into the easiest way to understand, think of what I'm looking for similar to a game of madlibs. The user "fills in the blanks".

Thanks!

Blocky has no server dependencies, so it is entirely possible to build a web app that includes Blocky and loads from disk, or is embedded in a offline mobile app. We've used this to distributed Blocky Games to schools in developing countries.

Rereading you comment with respect to "multiple user inputs", you can use localStorage in the browser to do what you need for a stand alone web app. Otherwise, you will need a server in the loop to share data between users.
