description Kodu Game Lab Overview
Kodu Game Lab is a visual programming environment developed by Microsoft Research for creating three-dimensional games. Instead of requiring conventional source code, it lets users define behavior through icon-based rules built around conditions and actions, then place characters, terrain, objects, and goals inside a game world. Originally associated with Windows PCs and Xbox 360, it is primarily intended to introduce children and beginning programmers to logic, sequencing, game design, and interactive systems.
