Girls write more complex programs and learn more about coding than boys when it comes to making computer games, a study has found.
A group of 12 - 13-year old pupils spent eight weeks developing their own 3D role playing games as part of the University of Sussex study.
Dr Kate Howland and Dr Judith Good developed Flip, a programming language which uses a simple interface to help the pupils string together scripts, basic programs which trigger a change within the game, such as a message popping up once a treasure chest is opened.
The girls used seven triggers within the games, almost twice as many as the boys of the group, and were much more successful at creating complex scripts with two or more parts and conditional clauses.
