I am a junior high teacher. Needs to teach my students on creating games. Ideas?

• GDevelop

  147 6,052 9.8 JavaScript

  :video_game: Open-source, cross-platform game engine designed to be used by everyone.

I'd choose something that requires less explicit programming, like Construct. It's proprietary software (I'm not affiliated with it in any way), but they have reasonable prices for education, and I know a person who has had success teaching kids to make basic games with it (with Construct 2, I think, which don't people prefer to Construct 3). Some similar tools which I haven't tried are Stencyl or GDevelop (this one is actually open source).

• Godot

  2,745 84,229 10.0 C++

  Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine

  

However if u want to teach game making with a focus on programming then something like PyGame or Godot could be a good idea. Both are incredibly small downloads and Godot doesn't even need to be installed, it's just an exe. PyGame uses python obviously, and Godot uses GDScript, which is basically just python.

• SurveyJS
