Teach Programming Lessons - Kodu. Gorzycki MS Tech Ed Wiki / Kodu. Kodu Game Lab is for building games!
Kodu is a programming environment designed by Microsoft for Windows and the Xbox 360. Kodu enables you to build games using a series of visual elements in a rich 3D environment, without having to learn a single line of code. The core of Kodu Game Lab is its intuitive user interface. From the interface, you choose visual commands to determine the actions of the characters and environment, rather than having to type lines of code to build your games.
