My daughter talked to the AI to make her own game. It now lives on our Raspberry Pi.

He let his daughter chat out loud with AI to make a game, and the AI gave her small kid sized coding lessons along the way. They put the game on his Raspberry Pi box with an Arduino joystick, so she can play it whenever she wants.

How it works

  1. Daughter talks out loud with AI to make the game
  2. The AI gives her small coding lessons as they go
  3. Move the finished game onto the Raspberry Pi box
  4. Hook it up with an Arduino joystick so she can play it whenever

Why it’s worth knowing

The child did the talking and learned as she went. The game did not stay in a chat window, it ended up on the family console.
