It's accessible to non-programmers but also is sophisticated enough to cover things like loops, functions, recursion, local/global/member variables, and more.
- vanderZwan 12y agoFriends of mine chose to use it in the most recent Global Game Jame[0]. Remembering how disappointed I was in Klik and Play as a kid, it was a pleasant surprise. We managed to tease out a lot more functionality than I expected. Aside from the "lots of mouse dragging when a bit of typing would be faster" that I mentioned elsewhere, the only issue I remember having with it, was that it wasn't always really clear which object was being referred to. (Sorry if this is useless vague feedback, but this is from memory and the event being a 48 hour game jam with little sleep doesn't help in that department).
