Download Microsoft Kodu programming language
Here's why :
Microsoft Kodu is based on Kodu language which is a visual programming language for game developers. Those who know about game programming can use MicroSoft Kodu for creating small and rich environmental games.
Key Features:
- End-to-End creative environment for designing, building, and playing your own new games.
- High-level language incorporates real-world primitives: collision, color, vision
- Runs on Xbox 360, PC
- Interactive terrain editor
- Bridge and path builder
- Terrain editor - create worlds of arbitrary shape , size
- 20 different characters with different abilities
The core of the Kodu project is the programming user interface. The language is simple and entirely icon-based. Programs are composed of pages, which are broken down into rules, which are further divided into conditions and actions.
Designed specifically for game development and provides specialized primitives derived from gaming scenarios.
Programs are expressed in physical terms, using concepts like vision, hearing, and time to control character behavior.
While not as general-purpose as classical programming languages, Kodu can express advanced game design concepts in a simple, direct, and intuitive manner.

Wow ! The post has lot of worthy stuff for game developers. The language seems very useful and easy to learn. video helps to understand it.
Honestly I have never even heard the word Kodu before. This is how it always starts. I'll chekc it out. Thanks.
so can it be used without the MS Studio? .. if so.. it'll be the first programming language developed by MS to do so .. ;) ;)
kodu...is great ..!...its quite impressive..it helps in programming as well as improving design, math and problem solving skills for kids....nice achievement by MICROSOFT..
I've never tried Kudu, I'm using c++ an c#, and I'm just wondering why is better? is it more colse to human language?
While creating games can be exciting and fun but I've a question, is Kodu to be used only by experts or those who've any experience in game development or any newbie can start developing games? I know it's not easy and development of a game requires creativity and skills but small game developers may actually go for it because it does look exciting.
