Awesome!
My 11 year old son submitted his first LudumDare Jam game this morning. It's a Javascript / HTML5 clicker/incremental game (think Cookie Clicker) built on a game engine I created. He's been getting so much better at coding all summer long. I had to help a lot at first, but now he's implementing everything on his own, and only comes to me when he can't hunt down a bug - which 99.9% of the time is a missing end-quote, ) or }
I'm not sure I want him to have a public website though with photos and an email address posted :/ I guess I'm not as trusting of... well... the entire world. Then again, maybe it's a good idea. I don't want him to leave the house at 18 and be surprised at how nasty the Internet can be.
