 Of course, I added the ticket so it wouldn't be forgotten.

 Thinking on this a bit better, Etoys _is_ more inviting to kids, than
 Construct. In a way, it is a game whose rules kids must learn (logic,
 geometry, vectors, forces) to make things happen. And If I understand
 correctly, that is the purpose of Etoys, to teach science to kids, by
 giving them "scientific constrains" so they learn "powerfull ideas".
