How do you know it’s so popular? And popular with who? Do you know of any developers who otherwise use text-based tools and who switch to visual programming just when they work on games? Personally, when using visual programming UIs, I instinctively look for some kind of “edit source” function. It just seems like a waste of time to use the mouse to browse through menus and constantly reorganize the board. My guess is that visual programming is simply more approachable and more appealing than text-based programming when you’re just starting out and you’re intimidated by the unfamiliar conventions of coding. It’s easier to learn when the the language itself looks like the teaching tools (such as flowcharts). And I bet that more people start out by writing games than any other kind of software.
