Stopping by to say hi

Hi @Gamer Mom, welcome to the forum!

Nice of you to say hi and join us. The peak of parents coming by was three years ago, but their memories live on. I would recommend checking out this thread: https://mekoramaforum.com/threads/levels-for-kids-or-by-kids.379/

The bulk of the new levels being uploaded depend in an understanding of how we've found ways to manipulate the physics engine behind the game. As our discoveries evolved, one the best (if not the best) creator that introduced these "tricks" in a way that we can both enjoy the level and learn the trick was @richardfu. You can find his levels here: https://mekoramaforum.com/media/users/richardfu.16/

Note that the Levels section of this site has uploads sorted chronologically. Thus to start at the beginning you'll need to go to the oldest (last) page.

As for recording tools, someone else may be able to help you better. But to answer your other question about YouTube, I don't think there is any harm in starting too early as long as parental oversight is maintained. May also be a good idea to turn off the ability for the public to comment on videos. Luckily the majority of people associated with this game have been very kind people. Then there are some teenagers that think it's cool to use crass language as there are everywhere. Anyway, you may not have heard, but Google has recently announced a new version of YouTube just for kids that you may be interested in checking out: https://www.youtube.com/kids/

Have fun!
