My kids and I built a little game with pi and codex over the weekend and it was a ton of fun. Some rough edges but with a bit of polishing I think getting agentic coding to be kids friendly is within reach. https://mitsuhiko.github.io/rope-man-game/
I know this website is not very receptive to coding agents still, but so much progress has been made in the last year. At this point they are such a pleasure to work with if you give them a bit of chance.
For working with kids we used vanilla pi, VoiceInk for text to speech and a small extension we built for drawing: https://github.com/mitsuhiko/pi-draw

@mitsuhiko the best thing you can create a "dad" agent, that will take care of kids and keep them busy

@mitsuhiko this looks like a very fun family project! Building stuff together is always fun, whatever the tools! I wish you could post more of your agentic coding exploration here without being aggressed!

@mitsuhiko Claude and kid made a split screen racing game with no libraries, pain HTML, Canvas and Javascript and readable code, also this weekend. His prompts were like ”should not be able to drive on grass” in Finnish. Two players with Xbox controller (game pad API). It’s wild.
