• “Feeling jealous” would be an understatement

  I'm honestly not that good at programming, but I found this really awesome game making tool called flowlab and it uses visual logic. Years later and now GALACDRIVE is on the app store with more to come :). Source: 10 months ago

• Programmers! (Circuiteers) What programming language do you think CV2 is based off?

  Mostly because it's what I used before coming to rec room, I think it feels most like flowlab.io with their visual scripting because of how simple everything is. Source: about 1 year ago

• I volunteered to teach children video game development.

  Hi, I'm a little late to the party, but I'd like to introduce you to a game engine called flowlab. It's a simple to learn, yet very powerful visual scripting engine. Source: about 1 year ago

• Screen-free coding for children: the xylophone maze

  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 / 2 months ago

• What can I do?

  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: 5 months ago
