I wish to create an f1 game on open typer, klavaro or GNU typist for kids, which would become an engaging practice for kids in speed typing. Can anyone help me with this ??

More information from you would definitely help you get more helpful responses.

By "f1 game", do you mean formula one? As in a racing game?

Do you have coding experience? If so, what particular languages are you most comfortable in? Do you have any experience in game development?

Are you looking for an option that avoids writing code?

Are you looking to make a 3d game, or is 2d ok with you?

Are you asking other folks to do some of the work or just asking for tips how to do it yourself. If you're looking for other folks to build all or part of it, you should understand it's a lot of work to make even a simple game and it's not like people are sitting around wishing for big projects to get involved with. (I guess if the idea's compelling to folks, it's possible you'll get enough interest and volunteers to make something like that happen, but I'd say it's unlikely folks will just jump in and make it.)

Finally, if you're going to cross post, maybe cross post to like 3 communities, not 5. 5 isn't that far beyond the limits of reasonableness, and there have been way worse offenders on that front, but still. People don't appreciate seeing the same thing too many times in a row in their feed.

Are you trying to look for something like nitrotype? If so, what issue do you have with that, it is best not to reinvent the wheel. If you want something to be oss then I would recommend not taking the easy way out and learn to code in one of the c languages or java and make it yourself; if it was not your intention to allocate a minimum of approx 50 hrs of learning and development time I would recommend asking for interested parties by way of commissioning if necessary. In my experience having a project to work on helps you learn coding very quickly, I would highly recommend doing it without the use of ai generated code, in my experience it is only useful for recommendations on your own code or as a makeshift interactive doc page, but in general the official doc pages are just as easy to understand and have no chance of being irrelevant.

I really don't understand what you're saying.

[–] Attacker94@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

In what way, is it too much techinese? If so, please tell me which aspects you are unfamiliar with and I would be happy to clarify

[–] Docker@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Techinese is a beautiful term😆😆😆 l understood this word, but much of the text that you typed, l failed to understand 😐😐

Particularly that doc pages thing.....

[–] Attacker94@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

A doc page is short for documentation page, it is a website, which is normally maintained by the language you are coding in, that shows you all of the syntax that you could possibly need for any given function. My reference to ai is that it is sometimes nice to ask ai how a function works if you are having trouble understanding it, but in general the doc pages already do a good job of that, and crucially shouldn't be wrong.

That means, if l'm coding in python, there's a documentation page, if l code in javascript, it's got a documentation page, like that ??😃😃

Actually chatgpt does a wonderful job explaining technology in a story telling method. For example, telemetry can be compared to CIA, FBI and Mossad 😆😆😆😆😆

Yes that is correct, in particular Python's doc.page is here python, and JavaScript's one is a bit different though due to its relationship to markdown languages like HTML, I do not believe oracle publishes a doc page for it specifically.

I think this is a great idea. And it reminded me that there was a hidden song on a typing game
