Do you have any pointers to, or keywords I can google, for some of those point and click game studios?

I've not tried to do anything like a game for decades, I'm kinda curious about that readily available tools kids could get their hands on these days... Closest I think I've come is launching Scratch from a RasPi's stock linux install...

Scratch 3.0 (released Jan) is great, if you want the shallowest learning curve. I was astounded-- played with it for 2-3 hours to know what my kid was learning and in that time wrote three simple games.

I've heard great things about 001 Game Creator (free for 7 days, then $60) for more substantial use.

It's been many years since I've looked into it- but I remember using a program called GameSalad back in the day. I used another couple of similar apps in middle school but I don't remember the names
