Microsoft’s picture-based 3D game programing tool was launched yesterday. Tell the world what you’re making.
During the Game Developers Conference, I had a chance to try Kodu, a programming tool created by Microsoft to help give children the experience of writing programming code yono all app and seeing that code yono all app make things happen.
I was impressed with the demo, especially once I suggested a game idea and the Kodu people at the demo made that game, iterated on it and let us all play it in under 10 minutes. I wrote about the experience at my old site.
My requested Kodu idea was to have a horde of shootable enemies that, when they died, would transfer their health to the remaining enemies. That would continue until one enemy would be left. That lone enemy would have as much health energy as a boss.
Ten minutes later, the proof was in the gameplay. Nope, it wasn’t fun.
Still beats giving up a job writing about games and learning a real yono all app programming language. (No thanks!)
For those who’ve downloaded Kodu, let us know what game design ideas you’ve tried. And which, if any, have proven to be fun.
Kodu is available on the Xbox Live Marketplace for 400 Microsoft points ($5 USD)

I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows. They make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive. The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique. The variety of games is excellent, including table games like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, in addition to slots. This keeps the platform interesting and allows me to switch games depending on my mood.

The mobile interface is smooth and intuitive. I can play all my favorite slots on the go without experiencing any lag or glitches. The design is responsive and user-friendly, which makes gaming on my phone just as enjoyable as on my computer. I love the overall aesthetic of the platform. The animations, visual effects, and sound design make the gaming experience more dynamic and immersive. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back.
