Anita: I have lifetime access to the subscription-based code-learning website, CodeCombat, where I enjoy learning Python and taking all the Game Development courses offered there. Those games I made were a part of the Game Development 1 and 2 courses (there is also a 3rd course) on CodeCombat. You code the games entirely on your own from scratch by the use of the knowledge you have gathered from the lessons in the... - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago
And https://codecombat.com, which has been around for a while now. I think this paradigm (navigating a character using "move" function invocations) is good but kind of exhausts its usefulness after a while. I question whether my daughter learns coding this way or just is playing a turn based top down platformer. The most code like thing is when you use 'loops' to have characters repeat sequences of moves. I... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
So now, while you have time (yes you have no time now but when you are out of school working with a child and or no summer vacation you will have less time) you can try MIT Scratch or CodeCombat and learn to code. For you it's a long the goal is to make 1 app or a handful of apps in 4 years until you graduate. That's absolutely doable even for someone who knows 0 about coding. Then when you graduate, if you are... Source: over 2 years ago
You can also have a look on Erase All Kittens (quite interesting) and also Code Combat. Source: about 3 years ago
Https://codecombat.com/ is REALLY good, the free levels have enough content for ~10 weeks for an intro to programming term. Source: over 3 years ago
My 11 year old cousin loves Scratch. He's made several games and "movies" using it. Another more powerful alternative is Stencyl: https://stencyl.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago
I have been using Stencyl for my personal 2d games. Source: over 3 years ago
I thought he used Stencyl (which has block coding like Scratch). Source: over 4 years ago
Isn't that what unity is? Honest question, I've never used it. There's also stencyl. Source: over 4 years ago
I'd choose something that requires less explicit programming, like Construct. It's proprietary software (I'm not affiliated with it in any way), but they have reasonable prices for education, and I know a person who has had success teaching kids to make basic games with it (with Construct 2, I think, which don't people prefer to Construct 3). Some similar tools which I haven't tried are Stencyl or GDevelop (this... Source: almost 5 years ago
