The 9-year-old boy has written more than 30 mobile games

Until now, Basil Okpara Jr. - a 9-year-old boy living on the outskirts of Lagos, Nigeria's business center has written over 30 different mobile games with a free programming application called Scratch 2.

Currently, this 9-year-old boy is writing a hide-and-seek game with the main character being a programmed bat to escape. Each time he catches this bat when it suddenly shows up from the hiding position, the player will receive one point.

Basil said he studied writing games when he attended a 5-day summer camp for children aged 5-15 years held by Codefest International in March. This is an opportunity for children like Basil to access today's hot technologies such as robots and virtual reality. Currently, writing games has become a joy for the boy when he is too bored.

According to the boy's father, Basil liked programming games at the age of seven after being scolded for playing games too much. At that time, while angry he told Basil that ' why don't you think about writing games yourself so others can play your game instead of playing games all day?' .

The boy Basil Okpara Jr. took his father's words very seriously and became interested in learning programming to develop his own games.

To serve the game writing, he asked his parents to buy a laptop and register some courses for basic knowledge.

Currently, Basil's games are still fairly rudimentary, so they can only be played on computers with Scratch 2. However, one of Basil's titles called "Frog attack" will appear on Google. Play Store this August.
