Ask HN: Platform for 11 year old to create video games?
Humble Bundle has a Godot bundle is available for the next day or so. That might be a good one to look at if you're ok with leaning into code a bit (gdscript is very very similar to python). https://www.humblebundle.com/software/learn-godot-43-complet...
Also check out the RPG Maker bundle. That's pretty point-and-click. You can have something basic up and running in a couple minutes (literally just paint your tiles onto a map and click Go and you'll have a little jrpg). If you use the newest version, you can script it in Javascript. One major selling point here is that their "runtime package" (RTP) comes with a TON of game assets to use, so you don't have to track down/make art if you don't want to (you can, but I often get blocked on art when I'm playing with game dev). https://www.humblebundle.com/software/gotcha-gotcha-presents...
GBStudio is another good (free) one to look at. It's point and click for the most part and if you get a flash cart, you can play your game on a real Gameboy. Definitely not gonna be the most flashy, but it's a good exercise in making something fun with limited resources available. https://www.gbstudio.dev
GDevelop is another no-/low-code option: https://gdevelop.io
Defold is another scripting-heavy option (Lua): https://defold.com

Writing a Playstation 1 Game in 2024
I've heard good things about GB Studio: https://www.gbstudio.dev/
You could either write the ROMs to a physical flash card and use an old Game Boy, or get one of the many Linux or Android based "retro handheld" form factor devices that run various emulators.

Pipes: A spiritual successor to Yahoo Pipes; GUI to get/manipulate data
The only other thing I can think of is GB Studio - https://www.gbstudio.dev/ - but the visual scripting there is like regular coding, but with visual blocks. It doesn't use boxes and lines. Instead, the script elements are more like blocks within blocks.

What’s up with people pretending to die after drinking the grimace shake?
I doubt it was intentional. They hired a studio to make a retro style game and they probably just happened to hire one specializing in gb development. There's a lot of good tools now like https://www.gbstudio.dev/

Best source for writable carts for homebrew?
Very cool! Maybe you can make a pixel art style portfolio of your work that runs on a GB cart and a rom to share around? Do you know about GBStudio?
