<br><br>The short answer is probably no, there are no comparable drag&drop<br>programming tools for the Mac. The latest Macs will run Windows and other<br>Macs will run a windows emulator, slowly.<br><br>Kahootz offers creative and storytelling opportunities but does not hold the
<br>challenge of problem solving and deep thinking that you will get with<br>Gamemaker.<br><br>There are some open source tools, eg Python and Squeak, but they are text<br>based, not nearly as good as drag and drop programming.
