Great job! Parlay those skills into some lucrative consulting gigs. Earn early, and earn often. Compound interest, especially at your age, is the most powerful force in the universe.

#92Anyone that's had to submit an app will be impressed that you went through that process successfully, let alone made a cool little game for the iphone. Good job.

#93Congratulations.
I'm going to echo the more pleasant half of HN and say don't let anybody dismiss your accomplishment. Shipping is all that really matters and shipping is hard.

#94Does it use Cocos2d or another game engine from makegameswithus.com ?
It was done in Kobold2D, a version of Cocos2D that's also free.

#95Earlier quoted context omitted.
> Systems Programming and Machine Learning Oh? What are you working on? Do you have any code available?
I'm currently working in a Revision Control software in Go (While learning the language), I'll push it to Github when I have a somewhat working prototype.
You're the coolest 15 year old. Email me (profile) when you upload, I'd love to check it out.

#97if you're my kid, I encourage you learn more STEM, doing game is just evil and a waste of time.

#98At 14, I was busy playing soccer. I didn't get to computers and coding till I was 17-18, when my brother bought a PC. So jealous of you guys who build such awesome stuff at this age ! Way to go..!

#99Sometimes I'm a bit skeptical about these kinds of posts "I'm X age, I made this". I feel like, why would a 14 year old want to make sure his age is on the post title?. It's not that extraordinary I think, I mean it's great that his doing this, but it's not that un-ordinary, sometimes it seems like someone else is driving this for promo.
What's even funnier is everyone in the comments "casually" mentioning that when they were 14 they were doing X or Y or Z. Even in congratulating a kid, people here must brag and not feel left out. No matter how smart, humans stay humans. It's cute.
Yes if you call "not doing anything worthwhile and just playing around the whole day" as bragging, then I'll brag a bit too :)
But..agree with your observation. Humans stay humans..!

#100I was writing/learning HTML with FrontPage 2003 and Flash 5 (6? 7? I thankfully don't remember anymore) when I was 14 - while knowing almost no English (thus, not understanding even what the menu items and controls mean!) and without a manual or teacher and just clicking around and seeing what happens to the code :-( Hard, hard times it was. But I enjoyed it nevertheless. But still, I'm jealous of you. If you were to…
I learned Pascal and Visual Basic when I was 9. Didn't lead to cool things like this game. Congrats OP. :)
That's me too! Then HTML/CSS/PHP/MySQL at 11ish :)
