I came across an interesting new way of making games on the XBOX community games channel last night: Kodu.

Allowing non-programmers to make 3D games, the system is aimed at the over 9s and can create some quite extraordinarily complex games.

Using a simple image based syntax, the user creates pages of script based around ‘if’ and ‘then’ statements (or ‘when’ and ‘do’ as it’s called in Kodu).

From a seemingly limited range of choices, it is possible to create a wide range of games, and even some features that the creators are surprised at!

Take a look and get into programming!

After increasing practise of employees getting reprimanded, suspended or even fired after employers subsequently read what they post online and don't like the look of, now the common person is getting in on the act with lawsuits !

Something that was doing the rounds on the internal email just reminds me how many cowboys are still around from the dotcom boom and still making good money.
