Comments and Reviews
Great way to learn programming by creating or editing retro-like games in blocks, JavaScript or Python, and switching between block and text based coding. Play your or others' games in the web simulator, on many supported handhelds or the Raspberry Pi. Friendly community and loved by my 11-year-old son and his friends!
