Stage Interactive Programming​

Stage interaction refers to the control and data feedback between the hardware and the stage and characters in Kittenblock when the hardware and software are connected.

note

The interaction is not only intuitive, but also convenient for program debugging, especially when the program logic contains some variable value judgments. You don’t need to spend time uploading the program every time, you only need to click on the building blocks to quickly get the value.


Fast execution​

Drag out the music block from the left column, and click on it to hear Otto's sound.

  1. Write a hardware-only building block program
  2. Click the toggle switch to bring up the code window and click Upload image-20250630115030127
