Hey #gamedev people:

My youngest (11) wants to develop games. He hasn’t had experience with this yet but he has played around a little with Scratch and Python and he has his own Ubuntu machine.

Does anyone have any recommendations for something he could get into?

My oldest (12) loves to create games in Scratch! He still clings to Scratch (and has his own Ubuntu too), but I want him to look at:
* S2js s2js.com/
* Snap byob.berkeley.edu/
* scriptacademy.net/ (also js)
* love2d.org/ 2D, Lua
* maybe renpy.org/

Leveraging his love of Minecraft:
* github.com/walterhiggins/Scrip got some interest
* code.org/minecraft
* edublocks.org/ he didn't like the Pi slowness compared to his desktop
