Microsoft’s Kodu Game Creator Technical Preview for PC Available

Microsoft has announced that their Kodu game creator has become available for download as a Technical Preview (TP) on the PC. The “game” was previously only available to members of the XNA Creator’s Club, those involved in the academic program and those who were willing to shelve out 400 Microsoft Points on the Xbox 360. Kodu will allow the end-user to create games without having any prior programming knowledge with premade sprites, actions and terrain.
While it is still limited in the actions and objects you can have in the game it still offers a valuable look at how and where user-generated content is evolving. The interface is very simple and easily picked up by anyone without needing to read any long manual or go through a tutorial so I highly recommend our users to try it out. For those looking for a tutorial or various games to try out, head over to Planet Kodu. You can download the TP version below:

I tried replicating Squarez on this however you are only allowed to move a character in the standard four directions (so no diagonal movements). I stopped when I found that out but it's still a fun and interesting program to fool around with on your spare time and is relatively easy to pick up and use
