Popis: This paper presents BlockCode, a web application developed to create board games that support the learning of computer programming logic. The goal of the games created with BlockCode is to move a bunny around a board using block-based programming in order to collect all the carrots that are placed on the board. In every game, the bunny has to deal with obstacles, represented by rocks and holes, which have to be avoided using the commands available. BlockCode was designed for teachers and students: teachers can create games, specifying the arrangement of the boards; and students play the games, specifying the sequence of commands with the aim of collecting all the carrots.
