You can find the block code inside the device. Whenever you click on a device, if you look at the top right hand corner of the screen, it will show the block option. Remember though, some devices don’t have block options.

block code basically allows you to do more things with a device then wires and channels.
Did you do the Creative Tutorial? I think they mention blocks somewhere there.
i found a guide
no im pretty sure they dont
Block code can help you simplify actions into smaller memory if used correctly. Block code can also help perform complex tasks that aren’t doable by normal devices that you can place.
Properties and variables are essentials to learning block code. As they store all types of values (text, number, true/false).
In summary if you can’t do something with devices try to do it with properties, variables, and block code. Because most of the time you’ll be able to do it!
If you want some help with block code and to learn it, there’s some good guides in this:
umm, no soo the story is when @SlimExtraterrestrial split a post in the guide @WSG into this topic, he asked where is the block code in that guide not what is block code, so ahh yeah this is the story.
Are you sure? They asked ‘what is a block’, so I assumed they didn’t know what block code was?

maybe i didnt understand, i think we wait for OP until he gets online and tell us, sorry for any inconvenience @SlimExtraterrestrial
Block code is coding with blocks. Instead of typing it, you drag blocks together to form codes. For example, dragging When player press popup call to action (as input) and set header to ‘Danger Zone’ and Set content to ‘Escape the zone before it’s to late!’ means than if the player presses popup call to action, the header of the popup will be ‘Danger Zone’ and the content will be ‘Escape the zone before it’s to late!’
Block coding often has strings than represent/is text. A string, for example is the content than will be set to. In Microbit: blocks are decided into basics, LED, music, and more. But that is off-topic.
Anyway, block coding is a code than can do things, like randomizing thing or changing setting of the device, and if used correctly, they can lower the amount of devices and therefore save memory. In my experience with GKC block code, they are most often used as randomizers, which is one of the many things that can only be done with coding and not other devices.
For some dvices, it will say: When __________________, run wire pulse block. When wired to a device with block code and you want it to run nothing but things in the block code, choose it as input. Connect them by choosing ‘on wire pulse block’ in while coding.
The bolded text directly relates to the topic. Hope this helps!
