This is a screenshot of his first video game. It shows the script, that Ian designed, on the right. You can see what the screen looks like on the left. This is the first level and the character has to jump up the three levels, fight a germy-looking character by blowing fire on it, and when the melted remains turn into a coin and you collect it, triumphant music plays. Like I said, "WOW!"
As this school year comes to an end, I am seeing the benefits of turning Ian loose on whatever computer program strikes his fancy. We saw great results with Piano Wizard last summer, Serif Draw Plus when he was animating, and now Scratch.
Now I just need to teach him how to type.
