Visual Programming is an easy-to-use programming tool that allows you to create original movements and tricks for your aibo without needing to know any programming language. This is because the programming method is carried out graphically, by working with illustrations in the form of blocks instead of using text. This method is actively used in schools and programming classes around the world. It is very easy to use since you only need to drag and drop the blocks to connect them with one another. As this allows you to program intuitively, even programming beginners can easily start creating programs. In this Visual Programming Guide for Beginners, we explain how you can get started with visual programming:

Prepare

Step 3: From the "Code" tab on the left, click on "Sound" listed near the bottom.

Step 4: Drag and drop the "[aibo's name] sings" block right beneath the "When the [green flag] is clicked" block. Leave no space between the two blocks.
