Looking through Chris Laffra's links, I went to:

https://code.google.com/p/blockly/

to find what you are talking about. I find the blockly-games site is 
just a Blockly app on App Engine (to which, I believe, Calvin alluded) 
with the Blockly sample programs arranged in a path. And what could be 
done to make it more usable would be to use the Blockly engine to 
implement a different games site, which presumably spits out Python, 
where the user starts out in a sandbox with offers of quests to increase 
sandbox playtime skills. So the building blocks are there, they just 
need some arranging and Trinket.io is on the case!
