摘要：
Block-based programming languages are successfully being used as an alternative way of teaching introductory programming concepts. The success is in part due to the low barrier of entry and the visual game-like appeal fostering experimentation and creativity. Virtual reality (VR) presents a step further to an even more immersive and engaging experience. In this demo, we showcase our project Cubely, an immersive VR programming environment in which novice programmers solve programming puzzles within a virtual world. the puzzles are similar to Code.org exercises and solutions to the exercises are assembled by the programmer within the same virtual world using the cubes representing program instructions. The whole environment is templated to a theme of the popular Minecraft video game.
