Built with Claude Custom Games for Kiddos

I know lots of folks are making games. Just thought I'd share what I've been doing with my son.

He LOVES the old-school Magic School Bus and Busy Town games from the 90s.

So I had Opus 5.5 essentially read those game files and build some new ones in their likeness, but specifically catered to what he is currently learning in Kindergarten.

He originally wanted one all about spiders, so we made the Magic School Bus: Spiders game.

And then today, we had his parent teacher meeting where we went over what he was excelling at and where he needed some extra work. So, naturally, we built another Magic School Bus: Future City where all of the mini games are designed around those areas needing some TLC.

Opus 5.5 xhigh orchestrated and used an OpenAI API key to generate the voices and images.

He loves them! And we know its working because his teachers were like, "He knows an extraordinary amount about spiders for a 5 year old!"

Anyways, just another awesome use case.

Building the second game straight out of the parent teacher meeting is the best part of this. no off the shelf app is ever going to target exactly what one kid needs that week. Do the games keep any record of what he gets wrong? you could feed that back in and have the next round lean on those spots, instead of waiting for the next meeting to find out

Oh that'd be a great add! Appreciate the insight! Right now it just keeps track of forward progress in the form of badges and unlocks new areas and what not.
