Kodu is basically a visual programming which is used to make games from. Kodu's real name is Boku. Million of people use Kodu all around the world. Kodu is a creative way to show off your skills about games and you can make your own games and play them. Kodu's language is something like this: Hello world: see-fruit-move-towards
Why Kodu?
Kodu is a very easy way to entertain yourself in many ways. You can use a game control to play on it. It has various characters you can use to build your game and make it look awesome. You can program the characters as you like. When it comes to the programming its a bit confusing. There are lots of options for example if you want the Kodu to catch apples you have to program the kodu to see-apple-red-eat/bump. Something like that.
Here are some example of the commands used in Kodu

My Opinion
Review
I think kodu is great but I did not like it at first because it was boring for me but after a few lessons of kodu i figured out awesome things i did not know about the programming of Kodu and other things. Kodu helps us to make our own games and be creative other than just playing games on the internet:)You can also build big terrains. So overall I think that Kodu is a good website for people to think out of the box.
