Girls games are more complex than boys

Few days ago I read a study published in the Computers journal, that researchers have found that games created by girls are more complex than those of boys, this was the first two lines of the new, an interest sparked in my heart and then I went to read it further.
The research was made on three different groups of 55 people (29 girls and 26 boys) with the age range of 12- 13 years old. They were first thought visual scripting languages.  They were asked to make short games for girls and boys using the basic computer languages.
The results was much different than the hypostasis, the proposed answer was that boys will make more complex games, but the result showed that girls made more difficult, narrative-driven games than the boys, games made by boys was uncomplicated and much simple. For instance, the chart given below is the picture of all the stats of the research article on the study, its shows that girls used most of their imaginations in their script than boys.

However, girls enjoyed game production, they enjoyed it less than boys and played those games for a very short time. This shows that girls have a more productive mind than boys, girls can explore their imaginations more than boys when they are allowed. Mostly girls engage their mind in Barbie games and many other simple games that allow them to explore their abilities.

After the research when they were asked about their further plans none of them was agreed to continue in the field of programming, even they got tired in the computation.
