Hi

What is the best method for teaching children and teenagers aged 12 to 18 how to create games?

Teaching scratch software or algebraic concepts?

thanks,

A. Scratch software.

Advanced students craving more of a challenge can be taught more of the “algebraic” concepts.

Hello lingo1357!

I'd say that the most easy way is to use pygame. You can have a basic game with aout 500 lines of code - including a title screen and highscores. Here's one example I did: https://github.com/dkrajzew/tempo120

It's of course nothing that you could sell - well, maybe on itch.io if you package it. But for learning basics, it's great!

Sincerely,

Daniel
