Gameblox
Gameblox provides an environment in which novices can create entertaining games by embedding some of the more complex programming tasks such as collisions, physics and gravity within the blocks. More advanced game designers might also find Gameblox a useful tool for rapid prototyping in their iterative design process. edX offers courses to support the use of Gameblox in game design.
