Beetle Blocks is very similar to both Scratch and Snap! but with a much greater emphasis on artistic applications. As such, it includes many code blocks that Scratch and Snap! do not have. Users create geometric algorithms that can be run to create amazing 2D and 3D shapes and designs. If you are comfortable with Scratch, but want to delve deeper into the world of programmable art, Beetle Blocks is for you.
