Is it possible for a kid to develop games ? I mean not the computer wizkid, but the average one who is simply fond of playing computer games ?? (thebrainbin.org)

Yeah you gotta be careful with this one though. I started using this at age 11 and now I have to sit through sprint planning meetings and discuss velocity of Jira board tickets.

It is really good though. Learning this as a kid and then into more serious game dev tools as I grew experience has led to a computer science degree and a "mostly" enjoyable software development career.

It could be worse, you could have to sit through those meetings AND not be a developer 😅

But yeah, they are boring if not properly done (and I've seen them done properly once).
