Have any of you tried to teach a kid how to code?
My mother wants me to teach my 7 year old sister. I was looking at scratch but it's way too boring to hold a kids attention.
I was thinking about making a game in Unity 5 to teach her the basics but i wanted to ask here first so i don't waste hundreds of hours
Any programs to help her learn?

Gentoo you say.

She is, I've seen ugly as sin kids ( I was one) but she even said "sky's crying" when she was young.

why not ask her what she wants to do
Teach her to install Arch via terminal. It can be a great learning experience

Is your sister even interested in programming, or is your mum trying to force it on her?
Trying to teach the unwilling is pointless.

lua - love2d, the tools have dirty names though.
Is your sister hot? Post pics

Maybe try to start her with Scratch.

He said teach her to code, not molest and rape her.

Machine code > assembly > c > kernel dev > endless publicity and $$$

Basically the same thing.
There are a fair numbers of games for kids that teach some very basic form of coding or introduce concepts to them.

No chomo.
If scratch can't get a 7 year old's attention then she'll never learn
My brother has been coding since he was 10 using lua and scratch. He's 13 now and writes in java and c#. He's going places

This is a pretty cool way to teach programming concepts to younger children. You get instant results in form of music, which is a lot easier to wrap your mind around compared to the algorithms you'd need to write a game. And it's a 'legit' programming language, with loops, variables, even multi-threading.
Impartial about sonicPi specifically, there are various similar IDEs for livecoding music.

If he's Bert, I'm Ernie.
