The big idea
AI can help you build games like guess-the-number, tic-tac-toe, or simple animations — even if you're a total beginner!
Some examples
- 'Make a Python game where I guess a number from 1-100.' → AI writes it.
- 'Make a simple Scratch game where a balloon dodges arrows.'
- 'Make HTML for a webpage that says hi when you click a button.'
- Start small, then add more features bit by bit.
Try it!
Ask AI: 'Help me make a simple text-based 'guess my number' game in Scratch or Python.' Then try to play it with a grown-up's help!
