Nothing more to add to what has been said ("charging" enhancement is the top one feature needed), this is a great work!

I simply wanted to share with you how proud would i be if my 9 yo child made such a similar game and wanted to thank you for inspiration since it's a few months i'm thinking to teach him the basic of programming even if i don't want him to focus on computers and screens in general.

I wrote my first assembly routine when i was only 7 on my commodore64 (thinking of it today i'm really really amazed!) but today our world is different and i think today we must try to keep our children away as much as we can from tech stuff so this is what is keeping me away from teaching him coding.

Kids dad here.

I try to make a distinction between consumption and creation activities. Consumption activities (social media, youtube, playing games, etc) are time limited. But we're much more relaxed for creation activities (coding, making music/art, etc).

This approach helps keep them safe from some of the negatives of the web, while letting them learn something valuable.

This was our approach too, it worked pretty well. When Covid and the lockdowns hit it all went out the window for us. It was simply to hard to supervise the kids and work as well.

I'm glad that you have made it work for you.

> keep our children away as much as we can from tech stuf

How do you define "tech stuff" and why do you want to keep children away from that?

[andretti1977]

I consider tech stuff quite everything related to the use of electronic devices: I.e. the use of a smartphone or a smartwatch or the use of a computer.

Little kids, in my opinion, should focus on things that don’t require electronics, for example things such as LEGO, drawing with pencils instead of a tablet, reading books instead of watching tv or reading an ebook. They shouldn’t have a smartwatch distracting them during school lessons.

They will have time to be deeply involved with electronics but before they must acquire “material” experiences

It shouldn't be your place to decide what hobbies your child should and shouldn't focus on.

[andretti1977]

I must not choose their hobbies, I even encouraged them on sports I dislike but they like.

But definitely i must decide for them if something is good or bad for their growth
