[Coda]

I realized I never bragged on my son's games -- he participated in Ludum Dare a couple times, and I'm hoping to talk him into trying again next time (September 29 - October 2) now that he's taken some real programming classes.

Ludum Dare 42 entry: Running Out of Space
His first jam ever, and the kid scored better than I did! Shows the power of a good idea. He was 11 years old and did the vast majority of the work. He picked out the graphics and sound effects by himself and did most of the programming. I provided technical advice, including teaching him some techniques along the way.

There are physics glitches. They are intentional. He thought it was fun.

Ludum Dare 44 entry: Game Over
He didn't try as hard on this one. He was really proud of the effects that he built, but he didn't care about fleshing it out into an actual game -- he got bored and decided to go play instead, so I roped him back into it long enough to get it submittable.
