Me to my sister: Hey, since I’m trying to learn to code, I’m thinking of trying to make a simple game for your girls to help me learn what things do and how it all fits together. Do you have any input on what sort of story you’d want it to be, or what they might like?
me thinking: >I know the youngest likes unicorns atm, and the oldest has a thing about stars maybe? So I can maybe do something with a unicorn going to space and meeting some martians and--<
Sister: Oh wow, that sounds great! Yeah, if we can do some sort of D&D style thing that’d be nice. With some good moral lessons in there, like an ogre has taken over a bridge and they can’t fight it so they have to go and ask for help to teach them it’s ok to get help. And then something with bullying maybe? Oh, and if you can have a character select screen so they can pick which outfit they want that’d be nice!
Me: . . . . . Sister, darling, you’ve known me my entire life. You should know better than to put that much faith in me!
