Hi. I want to get my little cousins into computers, and since they're kids, making games are really fun for them. I made a game with them with Love2D and they had a blast (I put their faces on the characters) but I think Love2d is a bit too hard for them.

My main motive for them is to make something and be creative. Programming is just a tool for that.
So something simpler with less code and mental load that let's them create stuff more simply is good.

What do you guys suggest?

Yeah bro, tossing a 6 year old in front of a computer screen to code is definitely a better plan.

This is some misguided helicopter parent shit. If they enjoy computers, then they’ll figure it out.
