Gamestar Mechanic

Increasingly I conclude the educators have a responsibility to give students the opportunity to take control over computers through programming and similar activities. Students also have a great affinity for computer games, and Gamestar Mechanic is a site where users can use the tools there to create arcade-style games. The site requires registration, and a fee is necessary for the full set of management tools, but even the free version will allow middle school students in enrichment classes or after-school clubs to build skill and unlock more advanced features while having fun.
