I think Pico-8 would be perfect if:

a) The code editing story was a bit nicer (better resolution / builtin support for external editing and reloading etc)

b) If there was some kid-specific introductory game programming content for it (even "type all this in and play around with it after" worked for me as a kid)



You should check out the Pico-8 fanzine. It is super cute, has coding tutorials and game building walkthroughs. I think there are now 8 issues.

It has both of those. Most of the tutorial is in the pico8.txt file though.
