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?

    Didn’t think of an Arduino kit but that would be a good low cost entry as well. You don’t even need to program it to start. Just basic circuits with switches and lights is a great education tool.
