My Take
The kids went home and worked on this for months! It was a great stepping stone to get them interested in computer programming and game design.
How I Use It
I use this software in my computer classes and for demonstrations in geometry for logic. There are great tutorials to create games and the software is well supported. You do need to download and install the software and have enough administrative rights to write to registry keys.

It has a lot of required information when you first start out with this program which can be tedious, especially taking up a lot of class time. Overall, I think it's a great program for students who are interested in this subject.

Great product for coding!!!
I love how you do not necessarily need to know "coding language" to use this program, but instead can first rely on the drag and drop options for your coding. This helps eliminate minor detail errors that students might not realize they are making when they first begin to learn code. The program also made it very easy to upload your own images and use them in your games. I would recommend this product to others who teach computer science.
