Kodu Game-Creation Tool for Kids Adapted for the PC
Kodu, a game that helps youngsters learn how to program so they can create their own video games to play and share, is now available on the PC.
REDMOND, Wash. Jan. 12, 2010 Microsoft is pushing to bring computer programming back into the classroom and back into the realm of the imagination.
That push comes through Kodu, a game developed by Microsoft Research that invites users to create their own worlds while teaching them the basics of game development. Originally designed as a learning tool for youngsters using Xbox 360, Kodu is now available in a public beta for the PC. The move to the PC platform stands to make the game more attractive to schools. By eliminating the need for controllers, schools dont need any special equipment students can start building worlds with just a PC and a keyboard.
