He was around 11-12 at the time. He and his brother were huge Minecraft fans (they still play all these years later), and he wanted to learn how to change the game like mods did. I worried Java would be a bit much and might get in the way of him just trying some simple things out, and Lua seemed much simpler and approachable for me to help him with. He was also a big superhero fan, so his first 3 modifications were to give himself superpowers. We added the ability to fly like Superman, run fast like the Flash, and jump huge distances like the Hulk. His favorite moment was when he activated the speedforce() and hulk_jump() together and realized he didn’t even need to fly because the speed-running and massive jump moved him further across the map at a faster rate of speed than his superman() function did. :)
- darkteflon 3y agoWonderful, love it :) Thanks so much - this’ll be our project this weekend. I’ll set everything up so he can just change a couple variables and see the effect immediately. We’ll see where we get to!
- bobwaycott 3y agoYou’re welcome, and I hope you have a ton of fun!
- LoganDark 3y agoIt's so cool to compare this to how I was at 11-12. I never really was affected by mascots or superheroes, never really looked up to anyone. Because of my neurodivergent childhood, I sometimes forget that normal kids are kids. But hearing about someone as old as 11-12 wanting to give themself superpowers to be like their favorite superheroes is just amazing. They are lucky to have someone like you <3
- bobwaycott 3y agoThat’s incredibly kind of you, thank you. I think I am really the lucky one.
