Summary: Literally Changed My Life
Comment: It sounds sappy, but this program literally changed my life. I was in the seventh grade and didn't really know what I wanted to do with my life. My mom bought this for me for my birthday (back when it was new). I stayed up all night going through the tutorials and finally, tried to write my own simple program, but found I had no clue what to do. But I stuck with it, I went through the tutorials again, and paid more attention. It completely changed my life, I absolutely loved programming with LTPB (as it was affectionately called), I made a ton of awesome games (I have them on a CD somewhere), and now like 9 or 10 years later I'm a video game programmer. I love what I do, and it's entirely because my mom bought me this program and encouraged me to keep with it. If you (or your kids) have even the slightest interest in making video games I highly recommend this software. Also, expect to see math grades improve. You'll be doing all sorts of math and enjoying it, something I never though was possible until this program.
