One of Christopher's favorite online game sites is Roblox.com. It's a building environment with pieces a lot like Legos. It's really a pretty amazing place. You can build worlds and get quite complicated with your designs. There's even a scripting language where you can program actions based on various events. Christopher printed out the manual and he's been playing with some of the capabilities. he's always coming up with new designs that he wants to implement. His next one is a maze around a house where at the end you get sucked into a giant vacuum cleaner. I'm pretty impressed with how the site helps kids learn about building and programming. Seems pretty educational for a game.
