Hi. I want to get my little cousins into computers, and since they’re kids, making games are really fun for them. I made a game with them with Love2D and they had a blast (I put their faces on the characters) but I think Love2d is a bit too hard for them.

My main motive for them is to make something and be creative. Programming is just a tool for that.
So something simpler with less code and mental load that let’s them create stuff more simply is good.

What do you guys suggest?

    I’ve talked pretty young kids to use alice. Scratch may have an advantage for extremely young ones, but 6-10 is a perfect age group for it.
