Microworlds EX is an educational software where people (particularly older elementary school children) can code games/animations/simulations/presentations/stories/whatever with the Logic programming language.

It's not free and is insanely pricy (a single copy costs $99.99), but trial versions are available. The one you can download for free on the site lasts 15 days and projects cannot be saved, but the trial you get, if you have a copy of Coding for Kids for Dummies or Getting Started with Coding, lasts 35 days and allows 90 saves (you also get a 70% discount if you want the full version).

With a copy of Coding for Kids for Dummies that I got from the school library, I downloaded what I call the “premium trial”. So far, I've created 2 projects based on the 2 of the 15 tutorials in the book.

Here's Chao Pandemic (yes, I love Sonic), based on the Viral Outbreak tutorial:



And Sonic-Shadow-Silver!, based on the Rock Paper Scissors tutorial:



(You can upload an HTML template for each project, so I could share them on the web, but I don't know how to. Help?)

Microworlds EX seems a lot more including than Scratch. You can import videos and stuff.
