Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • scratch-www

    Standalone web client for Scratch

    I would suggest using Scratch as not only is it made for kids but it's 100% free and easy to use. I would advise that you try it out for yourself and then decide as if he's using unity he might be above that level.

  • love

    LÖVE is an awesome 2D game framework for Lua.

    If all goes well with PICO-8, you can "upgrade" to love2d, which like PICO-8 uses Lua programming language, but allows for higher resolutions, and generally more polished outcome.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
