Implementation of a block to arduino generator

Blockly (Microsoft MakeCode fork)

This is a fork of Blockly, an open source visual programming environment. The fork is maintained by the Microsoft MakeCode team, and is used to power the blocks environment in PXT.

This concrete version has an implementation of an arduino code generator. The changes are visible in /generators/arduino and /generators/arduino/ This is a WIP, many files are added manually and this is not a final implementation. This repo is used mainly for testing and control version.

Major additions and changes in this fork:

• scratch-blocks rendering of the blocks block_render_svg.js
• Using insertion markers instead of dragged connections insertion_marker_manager.js
• Inverted and coloured toolbox modes toolbox.js
• Supports disabled categories toolbox.js
• Supports icons in the toolbox
• Adds a number slider field field_slider.js
• Zoom in / out with touch gestures touch_gesture.js
• Workspace comments that appear like sticky notes workspace_comment.js
• A number of Edge & IE fixes
• Support underlining and icons in flyout labels flyout_button.js

• node, npm
• python
