Awesome! It's nice to see how AI can be used for learning purposes. It changes from all the negative things we hear about it :) As personal feedback, I'd include an animation showing the attacks charging (or at least a notification once an attack is ready). Congrats!
Appreciate the feedback!
It's fun! The animations are great, too! I just wanted to add, somewhat related, that the Icelandic languages has the word "tölva" for "computer", a neologism comprised of the words for "number" and "prophetess", so if you will, the game's protagonist is a very literal computer.
I wish I had his level in JS (i'm 46)
Your kid is more talented than 90%of software engineers out there. Great work
I dont know about 90%. But I can say that I've worked with junior devs that were worse than him. But that is partly due to the tooling - Gemini levels him up big time. I can have a small discussion and give him some hints, and he'll go talk to Gemini about it and get a lot of contextually valuable and highly targeted information.
Based on my feedback, it seems pretty good. The main improvements I'd recommend are more user interface things, to make the game feel a bit less luck based. For example, there definitely needs to be an indication of which moves are charging, since I could not for the life of me tell which ones were ready and which weren't. Either a bar or number underneath the move indicating this (maybe with a nice 'CHARGED' label w…
It turns out you can just spam the buttons and it charges the moves.
Congratulations on successfully crafting a computer game! I played the game briefly this morning and I found it to be quite fun. Glad to see a 9 year old experiencing the joy of computing! Playing computer games (and then later programming with Logo and BASIC) is how I got introduced to computers. I too wanted to develop my own computer game when I was 8 year old. But unfortunately, I neither had access to enough tim…
Technology is so accessible today - the limitation is only will and desire.
There was this amazing talk called "juice it or lose it" that's meanwhile a little famous among game devs that I would recommend watching with him [1] because it shows how much of a game is effects, tweening and animations. Of course, he's 9, but maybe this will help him understand how to polish things like this and make them more fun to use? [1] https://youtube.com/watch?v=Fy0aCDmgnxg
Nothing more to add to what has been said ("charging" enhancement is the top one feature needed), this is a great work! I simply wanted to share with you how proud would i be if my 9 yo child made such a similar game and wanted to thank you for inspiration since it's a few months i'm thinking to teach him the basic of programming even if i don't want him to focus on computers and screens in general. I wrote my first…
> keep our children away as much as we can from tech stuf How do you define "tech stuff" and why do you want to keep children away from that?
Little kids, in my opinion, should focus on things that don’t require electronics, for example things such as LEGO, drawing with pencils instead of a tablet, reading books instead of watching tv or reading an ebook. They shouldn’t have a smartwatch distracting them during school lessons.
They will have time to be deeply involved with electronics but before they must acquire “material” experiences

It shouldn't be your place to decide what hobbies your child should and shouldn't focus on.
But definitely i must decide for them if something is good or bad for their growth
