Multi-agent system of autonomous interactive blocks that can display
its active state through color and light intensity has been developed.
Depending on the individual rules, these autonomous blocks could
express emergent behaviors which are a basis for various educational
games. The multi-agent system is used for developing games for behavioral
training of autistic children. This paper features the functional
and electronic design of the individual blocks and transformation
of the multi-agent system to a platform that allows multiple games
to be designed through easy reprogramming of the blocks. Three game
concepts that show the type of games that can easily be implemented
and reprogrammed are described. The impact of this platform is shortly
mentioned in the discussion. The initial tests of using the platform
for various educational games are very positive. However, the results
of user tests go beyond the scope of this paper and are not discussed
in the text that follows.
