What is AppInventor, you ask?
It's the formerly Google-sponsored but now MIT-sponsored online service that lets you create your own mobile apps for Android devices. For free.
It's the program we used in my computer science class last semester to make all of our apps.
It's basically like coding without actually having to learn code. It uses blocks instead of strings of difficult-to-memorize text, so it's a little bit easier to use than a full-on programming language like Python or C# or Java. But the structure of it is based on C++, I think, so it does still use programming logic. It's just not quite as difficult.
But anyway. Programming talk. Yuck.
The real purpose of this post is that this means I can make apps again! This is the closest I've been able to get to making my own computer/video games. I wish I could learn real code by myself, but I haven't had so much luck so far. Instead, I think I'll be using AppInventor for now.
Maybe you could, too!
