[malu] Programming for Kids?

[Jason Wohlford]

So I've got a 7yr old who wants to make his own game. Apparently, him and a friend are making Mario World 4. He's got a bit of Linux skill. He's installed OpenSUSE and Linux Mint a couple of times by himself. Very proud of that! He knows Mac and Windows too. Now reading ability is still lacking. He's 7. He's making great progress there, but full on programming (i.e. Python, etc) would be too much. I cut my teeth on HyperCard when I was a boy. I'm hoping there is something like that for Linux. Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Jason
