Hanno's projects for the Parallax Propeller- 12Blocks and friends...

I'm a full-time developer for the Parallax Propeller. I use the Propeller to build sophisticated, yet affordable tools and robots. In the last 2 years I've had a great time developing:
- ViewPort, the premier debugging tool for the Propeller
- IODreamkit, the ultimate analog and digital synthesis and measurement kit
- PropScope, a multi-function Oscilloscope, Logic Analyzer and Function Generator for the masses
- 12Blocks, a fun graphical development environment for the Propeller: sounds, graphics, robots and more

12Blocks looks everything in the world like Scratch, a programming language developed by MIT.

Yes, 12Blocks was inspired by Scratch, Scribbler, the Lego Mindstorm interface and more. There aren't that many ways to draw programming blocks- so all these languages superficially resemble each other.

I've tried to include the best of each while adding my own improvements: free-form expressions, interface blocks, "debugging views", parameter wizards, mouse gestures, integration with wiki, code output to different platforms...

Really cool project, this has started my programming wheels spinning, I'm allready working on a programing language for a CPU I'm designing, so this might be something for it :D

Amazing work and truly inspiring!
