Create your own games
XBOX AND PC USERS will be able to create their own games using a new tool developed by Microsoft called Kodu.
Vole developed Kodu under the name Boku as a tool for kids who like four letter words. Punters can create playgrounds with programmed actors using just the Xbox 360 controller.
Vole said that it is so easy that a five-year-old kid can use it. It found several kids of that age to test it. Older kids up to the age of 45 have also had a play.
Matt MacLaurin, principal program manager for Microsoft Research and lead Kodu designer, said Kodu's interface is intuitive and prevents common programming mistakes. Vole is making it easy for everyone to enjoy the magic of game creation, he claimed.µ

Reminds me of the good old days with C=64. Adventure Construction set, Pinball COnstruction set, and Racing Destruction Set were dynamically programmed make-your-own-game games, though now days we'd call them "map making" games, I supposed. The spirit back then was very similar to this.
Is it something you download? Is it free or something you buy? Where?
Any relation to boku-maru?
