In UK Study, Girls Best Boys At Making Computer Games

New submitter Esteanil writes Researchers in the University of Sussex's Informatics department asked pupils at a secondary school to design and program their own computer game using a new visual programming language. The young people, aged 12-13, spent eight weeks developing their own 3D role-playing games. The girls in the classroom wrote more complex programs in their games than the boys and also learnt more about coding. The girls used seven different triggers – almost twice as many as the boys – and were much more successful at creating complex scripts with two or more parts and conditional clauses. Boys nearly always chose to trigger their scripts on when a character says something, which is the first and easiest trigger to learn.

KILL FEMINISTS

[Anonymous Coward]

Maybe because raping unmarried female children to marry them is illegal in WOMENS CUNTRIES?
(It is Legal in the Old Testament: Deuteronomy 22 28-29 hebrew)

You feminists need to be killed. You NEED to be killed.
This woman's world needs to be destroyed or removed.

Females should NOT have choice.
Men SHOULD.

It's the opposite right now.
