learning-my-kid-to-code

trying to get my kid excited about code by writing small programs together.

these are the results of messy real-time fumbling toward solutions, not careful engineering

1. guessing_game.py

I like this one because (1) I can write it off the top of my head in about a minute, and (2) it's easy to get a kid to come up with the logic on their own.

She likes playing this on her own too.

2. mastermind.py

This was harder to get right than I expected.

3. hangchicken.py

Like Hangman, but with a chicken instead. Very satisfying.

4. madlib.py

Mad Libs! Every kid's favorite. The dataset is from a Microsoft EMNLP paper, consolidated and transformed a bit.
