I am thirteen, and I can make 3d games with c++, with all kinds of networking, and file reading with map loading texture loading... I am always appalled by age prejudice. When an adult does something like this... No big deal, right? But when a kid does this, WOAH. That is age prejudice, and it is hurtful. Why can't we just be treated like adults without all of the sugarcoating?

He is so good. I am ten and only a boy who is still a beginner in Ruby… while this 9-year-old boy is an expert in 6 programming language.

Buy him the SDK, that’s like a kid asking for a musical instrument. It will only set you back a hundo plus the cost of an iPhone for testing if you don’t have one.

This is an amazing kid! However, whatever happened to kids doing kid stuff? riding a bike, kicking a ball, running around? As a lover of computers since I was a child, I see that too many (esp kids) are foregoing physical activities and “normal” interactive activities for the computer/electronic type stuff. This story is as amazing as it is alarming.

You were obviously not very into computers, JG. I was writing little programs like this on the Vic 20 when I was 6-ish.

Stuff like this makes me feel old and obsolete, at 25… I remember grown-ups speaking with wonder about how my generation knows its way around computers, but it’s no comparison to these kids, who grow up with all this new technology as a second nature.
