THE IDEA

Why I built it

I wanted to turn homework practice into a game my kids would want to play, with sailing, spelling, and math challenges.

Project goals

  • Make the game playable on mobile and desktop
  • Use AI to help develop code and artwork
  • Keep homework content editable in JSON

Challenges

  • Designing physics and touch controls for children
  • Balancing play with learning activities

What came out of it

  • A playable pirate game with public source code and a build walkthrough
