If you’re willing to pay then give gamemaker studio a go. It has a similar logic block based model (you can also progress into a full ECMAscript based language once you get more advanced), but is a lot more flexible about what you can display.

Not 100% sure it’s still beginner friendly as I used it over a decade ago, but I’m pretty sure there’s a free trial, so you could find out.

Wat? Really. I thought it just has GML which is one of the shittiest languages I've ever used. It's really and seriously crap. On par with trying to write real programs in sh.

GML is an ECMAscript dialect. It’s not the best, buts it’s a lot more powerful than dragging boxes around, and IMO a step above bash too.
