hey - just read this thread. I did have an ide about this a couple of months ago. I was going to create a system powered by a parallax propeller micro controller - there pretty cheap , and it would be fairly easy to port over a BBC compiler to the spin platform it uses. I didn't bother in the end - if kids really want to build games- all they need to download is codeblocks and an open source sprite engine and off they go... another idea was to build and open source game console (better and cheaper then the pandora box) which gives kids an already well structured game engine , for free and free software to calibrate and use wii like controllers - all powered by an ARM based SoC (tegra 3?) along with create two communties - a Developer community and a player community - having a built in asset store and allow kids to share arts and graphics (along with other hobbiest.) still - I'm only 17 - not like I have 200 million dollars to build a complex infraustructure like that...
