Kodu Game Lab

Kodu, originally named Boku, is a programming integrated development environment (IDE) by Microsoft's FUSE Labs. It runs on Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10. It was released on the Xbox Live Marketplace on June 30, 2009. A Windows version is available to the general public for download from Microsoft's FUSE web portal.

Overview

Kodu is a visual programming tool which builds on ideas begun with Logo in the 1960s and other current projects such as AgentSheets, Squeak and Alice. It is designed to be accessible by anyone.

Kodu is available to download as an Xbox 360 Indie Game. There is also a PC version in an open beta which is available to anyone at their website.

Kodu is different from those other projects in several key ways:

It avoids typing code by having users construct programs using visual elements via a game controller

Rather than a bitmapped or 2D display, programs are executed in a 3D simulation environment, similar to Alice

Boku (juice)

BoKu was a fruit juice brand released in the United States from 1990 to 2003 by McCain Citrus, Inc. It was sold in a box, much like competitors such as Minute Maid.

BoKu was marketed as "adult" juice, as juice boxes were commonly attributed to grade-school children because of their small size and easy ability to pack in a lunch. Consequently, BoKu juice boxes were larger, omitted a straw in favor of a pull tab, and was offered in flavors considered more suitable for adults.

BoKu's television ads featured comedian Richard Lewis. Lewis would be seen standing in front of the camera, holding a BoKu box and espousing how the product was suited more for adults than children. At the end of each ad, shortly after taking a sip, Lewis would say to the camera: "Is that too much to ask?!"
