| Abstract: | In this paper the implementation of GameBlocks is explained, a novel digital manipulative system for coding simple programme sequences to control a toy robot. A contact-less, magnetic field-based mechanism for transferring information about the blocks is described. The mechanical and electronic system components are described. This implementation is positioned in relation to prior related work. Problems encountered are given, with suggestions for future work |
