From my 8yo, Luke: Put a tornado on. Let us be other things. Mega Boss Battle with an extra-strong one. Maybe the extra-strong one can be the tornado. Maybe if you're another thing, you could battle the wizard.

great ideas Luke!

I love the new features! I also appreciate the details of what software you used to create the game. My kids have been building stuff in Scratch and I want to have something available for when they’re ready for the next step, so it’s nice to have all these ideas for what they can use.

there are incredible tools available today, the child just needs the will.

I like the background music, but I didn’t notice any other sound effects when I’m playing the game.
veesahni · 10 months ago
There are sound effects for successful attacks. Every character has a unique attack sound!

My son has been learning to code. Today he’s releasing v2 of his math battle game, The Gamey Game. He’s excited to share it with you all!

The Gamey Game v2: https://www.armaansahni.com/game-v2

He’s also written a blog post about how he made this game: https://www.armaansahni.com/how-i-took-the-gamey-game-to-the...

He originally released v1 of the game a few months ago and got great feedback from this community. A big thank you for the feedback, it led to some great conversations and provided a ton of motivation for him to keep moving forward.

v2 was built using HTML, JS, CSS. All written by hand in VSCode. No frameworks, no build steps. He made all the graphics himself and also recorded all the audio.

Note that both parents are programmers so he has lots of hints and guidance along the way. He also leverages Google Gemini to answer coding questions (syntax, how to do something, etc), but the LLM isn’t coding for him and it isn’t available to him directly in his editor.

For the blog post, we talked about the target audience and came up with an outline. He then dictated his blog post directly into Google Docs. Finally, we went through a few rounds of feedback/edits (for more clarity, more words, etc).

>With the advent of the revolutionary Chain-of-Thought ("COT") models introduced in the past year, most noticeably in OpenAI's flagship O1 model (but very recently in DeepSeek's new R1 model, which we will talk about later in much more detail), all that changed. Instead of the amount of inference compute being directly proportional to the length of the output text generated by the model (scaling up for larger context windows, model size, etc.), these new COT models also generate intermediate "logic tokens"; think of this as a sort of scratchpad or "internal monologue" of the model while it's trying to solve your problem or complete its assigned task.

Is this right? I thought CoT was a prompting method and are we calling the reasoning models as CoT models?

Reasoning models are a result of the learnings from CoT prompting.

This is very close to what the ruby REPL will accept.

I tried to paste in the kitchen sink - it didn't like dangling decimals and the comment format, everything else worked as expected.

Hey, keep on bein' an awesome dad, dude! Hobbies that can double as highly profitable careers later on are the best kinda hobbies (speaking from experience). Nothin' quite beats the feeling of getting paid to do somethin' you actually enjoy doing, or the feeling of being able to create things you want or need using your own skills and hands. ;)

Software is pretty cool from that perspective. Creative, intellectually stimulating & pays well. It helps that software powers everything now.

If he does choose to pursue this in the future, he'll have a strong start. There's still a question of what changes will come to the industry as a result of AI.

Appreciate the comments!

It isn't the interest in Pokémon that dates them, it's wanting to make a webpage for it. :)

Welll.......... before the game, he made this: https://www.armaansahni.com/pokemon/
