I came across a couple interesting sites this morning that allow for simple game programming.
The first one is the Akihabara html5 game engine. It allows people to make simple games from html5 and javascript, so the games will be compatible to play on basically everything – all internet browsers, iphone/ipad, other phones, etc.
The second one is Scratch programming for kids. It was developed to teach kids programming by helping them make simple animated stories and games. The Scratch programming PDF guide is pretty cool. However, Scratch was removed from the AppStore because it’s not a native language app.
