Do you think a simplified assembly language would be better? I think a high-level language is generally good for teenagers or older. But maybe starting with assembly is better. It's actually a really simple language to learn (if you focus on a small subset) when you just want to do simple things. And it removes a lot of the magic that higher level languages have which could confuse things for kids.
- nickmeharry 14y agoThis is one of the reasons I'm interested in http://0x10c.com/ http://0x10c.com/ , when it ever comes out. The assembly language for the game's DCPU-16 is fairly simple. Currently it does take a bit too much to get output on the screen, but with better tooling it could be a viable first language.
- barbs 14y ago0x10c is such an awesome concept. Shame the last activity on the blog was November. You might also be interested in Core War, a game where you create assembly language programs and battle them with other programs. corewar.co.uk
