We developed an iPad app called GamePress. Its live in the app store for free. http://www.gamepressapp.com

Teachers have started using it to teach students about programming and game development.

It is similar to Scratch, but it is more powerful (and easier to actually make a game). The behaviour system has thing slike timers, if statements, math functions, variables.

So far from what we have been told by our users it is a great intro to programming concepts.

Keep in mind we never developed it for teaching programming! it was made as a fun and easy way to make and share video games!
