Hey all,

Anyone heard of Kodu?

http://fuse.microsoft.com/project/kodu.aspx

And I quote from their webpage:

"Kodu provides an end-to-end creative environment for designing, building, and
playing your own new games. The core of the Kodu project is the programming
user interface. The language is simple and entirely icon-based. Programs are
composed of pages, which are broken down into rules, which are further divided
into conditions and actions. Conditions are evaluated simultaneously."

It compiles for Windows and XBox 360. I cannot find any type of TCP or Socket
information at all, which leads me to believe there is no networking capability
(a real downer IMO).

I just found out about Kodu, but I'm wondering if anyone (or their kids) have
used Kodu? What do you think? Anyone who hasn't used it--likewise, what do you
think? 

Personally, I'm glad kids have something to learn with like Kodu. I
remember when they taught us TURTLE... this just seems much better. Hope I get
a chance to play with it soon!

Regards,
