It's widely used in Argentina, where in the San Luis province alone, more than 60000 children have been trained with this software in public schools.

Since its first public version, the code is generated in real time (for this purpose uses Scintilla).

Since the v0.82 version,[5] miniBloq includes miniSim: a small 2D robot simulator, aimed specially for kids.

miniBloq features some simple blocks that controls a small simulated robot with some remembrances to Logo, where the robot can draw a small environment (a maze, for example) and then use a sensor to interact with that environment.

This last distribution was designed to be portable, so the user can run in from a pen drive in any of these operating systems.
