I read on a magazine about Microsoft’s new programming language !

No,i’m not joking.. It’s a comletely new language.. except it’s being visual..

New visual programming language of MS lets you code your own xbox game without even writing a code.Well,if you are expecting to be able to create a God of War alternative by just drag&dropping,don’t read anymore,just leave this site quietly :D

Of course it lets you create little and simple games,but it sure seems easy to use and that’s kind of the whole point i think.I didn’t give it a try because of being so busy dealing with courses and a graduation project,but i think it deserves to be checked at least.

Below you’ll find some more information about this language and some screenshots.
