Kodu is a new visual programming language for kids of all ages, from seven to seventy. It is designed to be accessible to children and enjoyable for anyone, including adults who want to make their first game.

The visual nature of the language allows for rapid design iteration, and, best of all, it's free. In this course, Lynn Langit shows how to create games and lush 3D worlds with Kodu. Learn how to add objects and characters; introduce game logic with Kodu's When/Do menus; and use properties like lighting, water, trees, and movable cameras. Lynn also covers advanced object-programming and property concepts, such as adding sounds, scoring, and titles to your game. Build your own game (or one with your kid!) with Kodu today.
