My 6 yr old spent hours yesterday starting to compose the storyline and interface for his first digital game. He's using Paper App on iPad to sketch it out. I am amazed at level of sophistication he is showing having designed a lit of interfaces for apps.<p>Any of you have recommendations for development platforms for kids that will teach him fundamentals, while still letting him create something to be proud of? I want him to be able to see results, while still challenging him to learn. Thanks for any help you can provide. I have a tiger by the tail.
My first recommendation would be <a href="http://scratch.mit.edu/" rel="nofollow">http://scratch.mit.edu/</a><p>There are a number of commercial projects, including <a href="http://www.stencyl.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.stencyl.com/</a> , <a href="http://www.scirra.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.scirra.com/</a> , and <a href="http://www.yoyogames.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.yoyogames.com/</a> that are a bit more sophisticated, but Scratch is great for kids.
