My nephew has asked me this about 10x. He just want to build stuff, so nothing like minecraft. He doesn't have an iPad but when he visits he uses mine. I think he is 7 years old. I looked on the AppStore and didn't find one.
Minecraft Creative Mode. Eden World Builder's awesome as well for creative mode. (And it's a lot less expensive...) If you have a PC, you need to get Blockland yesterday.
Can't think of one myself and it seems like a pretty basic thing to ask for I'm actually surprised such a simple question doesn't have an obvious answer I can remember when I was a kid I used to play with 3d construction kit on my Amiga but even that was quite complicated. I'm sure there must be one somewhere I did find this little flash game while searching but it's perhaps too basic and the iPad kind of rules it out anyway. Maybe splashing out on some real lego might be the easiest way to go.
Thank you. I may even have deleted that Eden World Builder from my iPad..... Will go check it out.... Sounds familiar.
I don't mean to be a pain and I'm not having a go but Lego is one thing that really irks me. The plural of Lego is Lego, not Legos. Yeah it's odd like Sheep, one Sheep, 40 Sheep. Sorry, had to say it
That's debatable. The true plural is LEGO bricks (LEGO as a noun simply refers to the company, not the pieces). When people choose to refer to a block (incorrectly) as a LEGO, pluralization becomes a contentious issue and a quick googling shows just as much support for LEGOs as LEGO.
The plural is lego bricks. The collective noun is lego. "Legos" is always wrong under any circumstances.
Maybe Blocks!, Bricasso, or Block Builder 3D (there are others too, just try searching)? There are also a couple of official LEGO apps that let you build specific things, but they also include game components, so not pure building as you requested.
First of all, it don't have to do what LEGO tells me to Second of all, that's regionally biased. In Europe, where the company is located, it may be true, but in North America, people would give you a strange look if you used LEGO as a plural noun. Since the definition of LEGO is at this point, simply a proper noun for the name of the company, or an adjective referring to the LEGO bricks (even LEGO only states that people use LEGO as a plural noun, not that it is correct to do so), usage dictates definition. Depending on where you come from, either LEGO or LEGOs may be correct. However, let's consider common sense. Why would we pluralize the word without adding the conventional "s" to the end? There is no reason. It is ambiguous and potentially confusing. The only sensible answer is that the plural should be LEGOs. We don't say look at all those Toyota parked over there. We don't say that's a big cut, you'll need a couple of Band Aid for that. We don't say I need to put something in this soup, hand me some of those Saltine. Therefore we should not say go clean up all your LEGO off the floor.
I did search Lego and building blocks.... blocks! Did not show up ever, even putting the exact name in. Brickasso only showed up when I typed in the exact name after you supplied it. Thanks for the help.
Here's Blocks! although I cannot say whether it's any good. (I happened to have it boomarked to check out.) http://appshopper.com/entertainment/blocks-3 As for the plural... "most Lego fans" use "Lego" to refer to one OR more blocks? Really? Most? Most would say, "I have three red Lego left?" No. You can say "I have three fish." Saying "I have three Lego" is ridiculous. I will continue to pluralize "Legos" according the predominant conventions of the English language (among others) and the actual habits of "most Lego fans." LEGO corporation's opinion on the matter will not influence me, and I don't know why they would even wish to change the use of a plural that has been used for decades and makes total sense
To help protect their trademark. If the term LEGO/LEGOs becomes a generic term for interlocking bricks of this sort, they risk losing their trademark and their competitors could sell similar products and call them LEGO/LEGOs. Just like the example I gave above with Saltines. Nabisco lost their trademark on that word years ago when it became generic to refer to crackers of that sort as saltines. The real question is not why LEGO wants people not to call their bricks LEGOs, but why anyone would be foolish enough to listen to them. Boxes of Cheez It crackers use the plural Cheez It, as in "gimme a handful of those Cheez It". Nobody would ever actual say that though. Then again maybe they would. Apparently there are people out there who use LEGO as a plural
I agree that they can't want people calling other blocks Legos. But why do they care if people call Legos Legos? (Is is some legal quirk where they can't do anything protect the trademark with an "s," so they have to pretend to care?)
