New Kid Characters for Unlimited Creation
Tynker’s Character Creator is one of the many reasons students love using Tynker. Feedback from our users inspired us to create a new set of characters that reflect the kids who are learning to code with our products. With the new kid characters, students can create characters that look like themselves and add realistic, high-quality animations to their coding games and projects. The kid rig has built-in emotion animations, which make it easy to create engaging storytelling projects.
Versatile Movement and Emotion Animations
New kid characters can jump for joy, blush, cower in fear, cry, talk, walk, run, get angry, and much more. This wide array of animations makes it easy for new programmers to create interactive scenes, stories, and games.
Create Millions of Unique Characters
Students can mix and match hair, eyes, skin, pants, shirts, hats, and more to create custom characters to use in their projects. They can put any outfit on any character and even combine different outfits, allowing them to create unique characters. They can make boy and girl characters who are doctors, football players, ninjas, fairies, wizards, medieval characters, goblins, knights, and more. With these new characters, students can use coding to tell beautiful, realistic stories about their own lives and their fantasy worlds.
