Turn a classroom review game into a personal study game for my son

A teacher and dad rebuilt his classroom card-review game into 'Bad Mascots', a mascot-horror study game for his 2nd-grade son: The AI planned the conversion, wrote the image prompts and built and tested the game file, questions come from a photo of the boy's weekly vocabulary sheet, and progress saves to its own Google Sheet. Weekly updates take about 10 minutes from photo to approved questions, and the game is live and playable online.

How it works

  1. Start from his working classroom game (tokens, card packs, battle mode, scoreboard, Google Sheet saves)
  2. The AI plans the conversion and writes image prompts
  3. An AI renders images in Nano Banana; the AI places them into the game file and tests it
  4. Card set cut from 26 to 13 with original characters
  5. Photograph the weekly vocabulary sheet; definitions copied word-for-word become 4-choice questions
  6. Host free on Blogger
  7. Each week, photo to approved updated questions in about 10 minutes

Why it’s worth knowing

The study content is his son's actual homework sheet, photographed weekly — the game regenerates around whatever class assigned.
