Whoa - he's responsible for infiniminer? Considering Minecraft was built on top of it, I wonder how much credit he's been given... Also, most of these games actually look like you could learn something from them, while having fun...
Minecraft wasn't built on top of infiniminer, it was inspired by it. The games are actually extremely different if you play them.

#24My neice and nephew love this game. They're 5 & 7. My only complaint is that I think the difficulty ramps up a bit fast or their could be a bit more easier levels. Would pay for that.

#25Check out RoboZZle, which is more advanced (including eg call stack, enabling some fancy tricks): http://robozzle.com/
Seconded; robozzle offers more variety and bigger challenges.

It looks like they have a Jr game - maybe that doesn't ramp up as fast?
My 5 yr old tried human resource machine the other day, got a couple of levels, but that ramped up way too fast for him. I'm afraid that this might ramp up a bit fast, too, but maybe the Jr version would work.
He also plays with "hopscotch" - which is free and a little more free-form. It has some nice tutorial videos that walk you through building various simple games, or you can just do your own thing. (NB - he can read, which helps with that app.)
We're also gonna give the Lego Boost a go this Christmas (partially because I wanna play with it) - it also has a similar block-style of programming, but you get to move a physical robot. (Or any other lego creation.)

Wow I'd never heard of it before. I've tried it for a bit and just love it. Though I wish the js version wasn't beta and it didn't require silverlight.

#29Is there something similar for Xbox One? Would love to get something like this for my niece and nephew.

Yea! ShenzenIO is my jam! i have probably dumped dozens of hours playing that.
Shenzhen makes me feel like I'm not actually that good of a programmer :)
I beat the first 5-6 levels and got stuck. I should go back to it. I did beat the solitaire game though.
