Congrats on the launch!
My nephew is 8 years old. I have been on the hunt for a platform that is suitable for him to create a space invaders style game (he has a huge notebook crammed with video game ideas). So tools like pickcode, sprig, scratch and so on are of particular interest.
I think the most important thing is for him to be successful early on... and I have yet to find anything in a similar vein that that is really, really simple.
Pickcode will be great once he knows some basics, but he's not old enough yet to run with it, as noted in the article.
Any recommendations are gratefully received for a pickcode alike for a younger audience, with graphics focused/game building options. (And whilst I ask for the moon on a stick, the icing on the cake would be support remote collaboration)
Charlie: FYI, the sign up form picks up a dormant Google account for me, and provides no mechanism to change it. Very odd.
- phonescreen_man 4y agoFor game creation check out bloxels. I used to teach with it in after school programs. Allows me ou to build out great 2D platform games.
- csmeyer 4y agoThanks for the note on the signup form, it’s just a google form at the moment so idk what might be going on. Remote collaboration and a game editor are on the horizon so teach your nephew a few things in the meantime and you’ll be good to go :-)
