Any recommendations for extremely easy game programming?
I don't really care which platform, from PC, Mac to iThingy, Android, online or whatever - I'm looking to "challenge" my (under 10 yr old) kids to storyboard, design, walkthrough and then "program" a game. Even something as stupid as getting a chicken to cross the screen and lay an egg...then wait 30 seconds for it to hatch.
"Winter is coming" - and we're looking for stuff to do with the kids.
When I look at the quality of what they get for "free" on iThingy - it's hard to even think where to begin...but I want them to "begin"....I grew up having to program on a Dragon32, it served me incredibly well.
My kids "take for granted" what they have on their Nintendo Switch or 3DS, iThingy etc.
I have toyed with the idea of getting the Vectrex32 or even a book on 6809 machine code for them - but that's probably a bit too harsh...
I don't actually mind doing the coding for them, although it would have to be something 'simple' they could follow...
