You might wonder why I recommend Gemini since the simple modification is the only change it got correct on the first try. It took five attempts to get the second, less simple change working and, even after five tries, it never got the third change right. Three words: It saved time
Coding with Gemini without the vibe
I keep reading that AI enables developers to work 30% ! 50%! 100%! faster. AI can replace junior developers! So far, I have found none of this to be true -until this weekend.
Finally! A use for AI: 15,000 images in a day
In a recent conversation it became clear to me that I am not very good at explaining how 7 Generation Games is a profitable and growing business. That probably was made worse by the fact that we are re-releasing two of our apps using different technology to be able to […]
How we make money when content is not ours to ...
Hi, my name is Alberto and I am a sophomore in high school. 7 Generation Games has been my first actual job experience and so far I have been enjoying it. The people here have been really helpful in helping me learn new skills. As an intern my job is […]

Two AR Apps Under Construction

Game design steps with killer robots
1 TL; DR Our app gave the correct answer 99% of the time. So we spent days creating a new app to teach multiplication in English and Lakota that is 100% accurate. Dennis wrote a script to check the answer produced when you hold the phone over one of the cards […]
When 99% isn’t good enough for our students
In my last post, I talked about how good educational games aren’t that easy to make because education isn’t that simple. Today, I want to revisit the same math concept, that division is multiplication in reverse, but from a programming standpoint. First, the setup. The first part sets the number […]
A simple little math problem isn’t so simple
Here’s the problem – at the start of Aztech: The Story Begins, the characters are in a history classroom and have to take a pop quiz. Players click on a highlighted word and three choices appear for definition. Clicking on the wrong definition turns the word red and plays a […]

Life is sweet. After months of revisions, translations and testing, Aztech: Meet the Maya will be submitted to the app store by the time I get done drinking this martini. Champagne would be more appropriate but it was after midnight when we made the last mandatory change and all the […]
Eating my own dog food: Learning Spanish from a game
I’ll confess right up front that I’m not as organized as I’d like to be when it comes to game design or, well, anything. However, let’s pretend I was. In that case, I’d start out by considering what assets I need for the Caves and Ladders game I discussed in […]
