He's bright and has expressed interest in making games, and I have this old laptop lying around. I'd love it if I just gave him this thing and let him go free hacking it around and learning computer skills by breaking and fixing things like a lot of us did.One aspect of this is that it will NOT have internet access for obvious reasons. So no online tools such as code academy.Is there any software specifically for this purpose on Linux? From a quick Google I see Scratch and Greenfoot, and I'll put those on if they work, but really I would prefer actual code.Or perhaps a regular minimal IDE, but with a list of coding tutorials and an easy way to see the results?
