ArduBlock Education Edition

ArduBlock is a Block Programming Language for Arduino. The language and functions model closely to Arduino Language Reference.
This version of ArduBlock is tweaked to more closely resemble the Arduino language, and is meant to teach kids programming basics before transitioning to C or C++.
Some of the changes:

• Block names match the Arduino Language Reference as much as possible. For example, the original ArduBlock had a block called "repeat"; this version has a block named "for" - this way kids will get to know the concept of a for loop.
• Block drawers are organized to match the Arduino Libraries as much as possible.
• Code produced is as human-readable as possible. Variable or function names aren't changed unless absolutely necessary. All code is indented four spaces.
• Third-party libraries are removed, so kids don't feel as overwhelmed.

Installation

After building this, copy the target/ardublock-all.jar to Arduino\tools\ArduBlockTool\tool. Then open the Arduino IDE, and go to Tools --> ArduBlock Education Edition.
