Hi. I want to get my little cousins into computers, and since they're kids, making games are really fun for them. I made a game with them with Love2D and they had a blast (I put their faces on the characters) but I think Love2d is a bit too hard for them.

My main motive for them is to make something and be creative. Programming is just a tool for that.
So something simpler with less code and mental load that let's them create stuff more simply is good.

What do you guys suggest?

I just went to the resources page and they appear to have a number of how to use, lessons, etc. Is that what you're talking about?

By the way, you're not going to find too much documentation into things like syntax. Unless it's changed dramatically I believe it's a visual language. Drag and drop.
