Microsoft recently released a programming environment cum a community game. It is exclusively for the Xbox platform currently. This application is called as Kodu. This tool is especially to be utilized by kids. This programming software does not require its user to know even “the C” of coding. The player will be able to design their own games.

Kodu requires the .Net 3.5 framework and the XNA framework 3.1 to run this application.

Kodu was developed by Microsoft Research to teach the children games and also the basics of game coding. This was also to help the youngsters enhance their mathematic skills, and even improve their problem solving skills. According to the director of the Redmond Future Social Experiences or the FUSE, Matthew MacLaurin, who is also the games director stated that, this software is to rebuild the magic of coding in children. This software will definitely help the kids exhibit their creativity and also recreate it in the IDE.
