This is the second game me and my daughter made, first one was https://punkjazz.org/programming-time/ and we really enjoy them both. The idea is for a parent and a kid to just pick few cards and play a bit after school or while making dinner. Also it was a great deal of fun to write those small programs :)

Kinda depressing this is a kids game, but it's cool you make games with your daughter.

Cute, but the gameplay doesn't seem very fleshed out?

This is true!

I am still working on the games, but since it took me 2 months to make the programs, I decided to print anyway.

https://punkx.org/4917/guide.html#game here I have just given examples of possible games, but I think parents will have to see what their kid responds to, as mine really like dice and modifying the code so that works for me, but for another parent they might want to make some sort of treasure hunt with the cards for example.
