I had a most excellent fight with a black hole, in which I managed to emerge victorious.
Nice art!
10/10, would play again

#62Love it. In terms of constructive feedback: I would like to know when the various weapons are "charged." It doesn't seem like we can tell from looking. Also it might be interesting to see what question the opponent is working on and what his answer is.

I think it might just be doing random choice when it's clicked. I found that if you get the "it's charging" message, you can just click again & again & eventually one of them will go through.

#63That's hilariously evil turning it into a maths game. Be fun to add some music to this.
v2 will have sound effects. I had conversation with him about copyrights and he's recording his own audio!

#64Games are a series of interesting decisions. That’s one formulation. Being asked what x+y is with some graphics is not an interesting decision. Perhaps an interesting decision comes later, but I wasn’t interested and bounced.

#65This scorpion is tough! Luckily I'm slightly better at arithmetic than it is. Benefit of being a wizard.
Wizard uses mental arithmetic: it's super effective!

Frankly, it looks like a scam. It mentions AI and NFTs everywhere, in-app purchases are for “Mint Passes” and “Sticky Coins”, and it tracks users. What this 9-year old did is different. Maybe it’s a modest game, but they used an LLM as a tool to learn to code, not just to produce AI slop. It feels crummy that you’ve taken a thread that is about celebrating a kid’s first achievement in creating a game and made it abou…

#67Very cool. One of the attacks was blocked due to insufficient charge. Has he considered a charging status indicator e.g., bar or countdown timer?
charging isn't clear here. He plans to fix this for the next version.
We've talked about using a visual indicator, perhaps greying out uncharged attacks.

#68Nice :) I feel the HP should be removed during / after the animation rather than before it. Agree with the comment on having better hit when answering faster, that would be fun
Appreciate the feedback!

#70This feels a lot like a reddit-style post, where someone says "This is my first ever time doing X and I need feedback. Please be gentle I am total newbie hehe :)", and they post something obviously done by or significantly influenced by an expert.
