    You can use the pica library for browser resizing - https://www.npmjs.com/package/pica - it's a really great tool. It can also reduce upload size for large images. And some library like this for merging images - https://www.npmjs.com/package/merge-images.

    If your kid is already doing Scratch, Blockly is a really easy next step.

    https://developers.google.com/blockly

    Critically, Blockly can emit JavaScript and Python, plus it supports plugins for extended functionality. So the kid can stay inside the blockly universe for as long as they like, but easily peer under the hood and get into Python or JavaScript as soon as they like.

    Unless it would contradict canon, every stage is very bright, highly interactive, full of pre-placed items, and so huge that you can usually run from your NPC opponents and enjoy exploring the stage in peace while they catch up to you. All buildings have Linux computers with actual internet access that allow you to program and print out your own projectiles/books/flags/UNO reverse cards/shinigami eyes/soupcans/cis TERF tears/masks/custom-made programs which can then be inserted into a different computer, but all without tracking any of your browser history; closets that you can enter; bookshelves containing the books mentioned in Masterpieces that you can either read in-game or throw to make random sentences/verses/comics from the book appear; and bathrooms with working mirrors that you can enter but their exact content and whether they're gendered or not depends on the stage.
