For any kids who enjoyed that Google Doodle I’d recommend taking a look at Lightbot[0] and Spritebox[1]; similar experiences for playing with programming logic.

Full disclosure: I’m the developer on these, but believe they’re relevant here.

Yes! My girls already love Lightbot, we found it after they had played the Google Bunny doodle to death. They'll be super excited tomorrow when I tell them I spoke to the person that made it :-)

Will definitely download Spritebox and give it a try. Would you say it's more aimed at older kids and adults?

Thanks so much for making it!


Happy they like it :) Spritebox is geared for ages 7+, but, like Lightbot, assumes no prior experience with coding.
