BarZoule: I agree with al you said... but, for kids would Windows makes it easier for programming?
A programmer and researcher at Singapore wanted to please his 7 years old son about teaching computer programming to create games... It's seem the Apple IIgs was the way to go for him...

I totally agree with the father of that guy, that easy graphics are a must for children... I remember that coding without graphics was a bit frustrating when I was a kid.
But... I guess there are other options. I believe I would have picked Javascript. I would have provided a little boilerplate at first for it, maybe with a canvas on it, and I would explain the kid he would be able to understand the boilerplate soon.

I've never been using hardware tricks or undocumented features, so there's no problem on Atari ST. If the platform is a closed/undocumented one (like GP2X? PS3...) it might be another story... |

Hum.. I felt today.. ahh, I will look for a Commodore 128 demo.. I know C128 has the same feature in 40 columns with 128kb of ram. And doing demo for it in the early day.. would mean less people can see it than doing on C64 mode. I realize there is not even a category in Pouet for it! :( |
