Do you use text or blocks to code IN CODE.ORG

person

for me its easier to do blocks, simply because its more efficient than typing

person

it does restrict me a bit, but i have an archive of cool blocks that i can use that arent in the menu.

Mellow

I remember only using blocks
I forced myself to use text cuz I knew other programs ain't gonna give you blocks, so, yeah
And overall for cdo it's better and faster to use text, cuz a lot of things don't exist in the block menu, and I don't have to search for the blocks I need, I can just type em out.

I only use blocks if i need to check if i put stuff in the right place like if() statments and stuff like that but everything else is typed

i use text religiously. thats also how i got into PC/Mobile game development.

INTERNECION

if blocks are honestly easier than text for you guys then idk what to say

Blockyheadman

ackvonhuelio well they are because the blocks are huge when editing so text is a lot smaller and easier to read. i'm also used to reading text because i program on a game engine that doesn't really use blocks/nodes for coding.

DaniDaCoder

its also hard to edit at all with blocks your really limited if you only use the blocks in the tool box
