Kids can learn to program in 1000 different ways, but will they? The biggest motivation is to show-off your creation and if all your friends play on the Switch and your game isn't there, it might as well not exist at all. I learned programming on a Commodore 64, because I wanted to make my own games. Back at that time the playing field was fairly level as evidenced by the fact that a couple of the prominent game developers were almost kids themselves.
