Is it possible for a kid to develop games ? I mean not the computer wizkid, but the average one who is simply fond of playing computer games ??

GameMaker is a great place to start!
Also I find godot’s syntax + built in editor easier to work with than unity’s c# and having the entire engine up and running in ~10s would remove a lot of friction for someone learning
@[email protected] you mean this would be easy for kids to figure out ??

Gamemaker has a visual scripting similar to scratch (though still very engine-specific) and has the code editor + sprite editor built in, so yes I think it would be a good place to start. You wouldn’t necessarily even need to “upgrade” later, as the engine can do some 3d.
Depending on age, scratch might be easier though. The other comments have some good suggestions too
@[email protected] no, l meant the Godot’s editor you were talking about…

Oh I think godot’s editor is good yes, its language is structured similarly to Python and it has an easy to use input system. It’s much easier if you’re used to reading docs or googling, but gdquest has a cool interactive app for learning to program from zero experience

@[email protected] and the best thing is that it can be used offline perfectly…

It can be! The docs can be accessed in-engine with a ctrl+click on a piece of code
Definitely easy to figure out, and there was plenty of tutorials to copy from.
