I would pay $99 for an Apple TV app that recreates the experience of programming a computer connected to a TV, in BASIC. Something like the Amstrad CPC series computers with lots of built-in commands for drawing graphics, making sounds, etc. I’m trying to get my 8-year-old interested in programming, but there’s just too much shit on the computer that gets in the way and too many unrelated parts (text editor, terminal, compiler/interpreter, etc.) for him to think about. I can’t use parental controls to stop him from switching to YouTube the moment I walk away, because just about every piece of software has a long list of websites it needs to connect to. He’s used to playing games on the iPad and none of those would be simple enough to inspire him to think that maybe he could make games too.
