My son hasn’t really showed any interest in computers until now. He’s been spending a lot of time over the last couple of weeks designing some sort of a game (on paper) and now he wants me to help him build it, whatever it is. I don’t want to let him down but I also know how much work that goes into a game (he specifically wants it to be 3D).

I’m a decent developer, although I’ve not done game development professionally I did tons of demos on the 90’s so I feel I know the basics of 3D math but I’m pretty sure he will lose interest if I try to teach him x86 assembler :)

Joke aside, what can I do? This sounds like a great project for us to explore together and hopefully he can grow interest in software design and development.

Are there development kits I can start with (unity?)

How do I keep the project “contained” so he feels that he accomplished something but still feels we developed something close to his vision?

Art is a completely untapped field which I'm sure I'm missing out on. I've heard that stepping outside of STEM and appreciating other fields is a good idea.

How would you recommend for me to take a step out of STEM and get a taste of the artsy realm in life? I don't know what I don't know.","time":1673980971,"title":"Ask HN: How do I get into art?","type":"story"}],[33880005,{"by":"ramimac","descendants":386,"id":33880005,"kids":[33886573,33883819,33883683,33883193,33883935,33885966,33883362,33883571,33883777,33885940,33883966,33884046,33883220,33887005,33885806,33884159,33883369,33883073,33883330,33884071,33883947,33882995,33888552,33883219,33885839,33886458,33885668,33884044,33886589,33886463,33883705,33886366,33890530,33884006,33883133,33889109,33886413,33888181,33884819,33885659,33885689,33888257,33886586,33886535,33883768,33887465,33883383,33900119,33883800,33887667,33885430,33890632,33883770,33885453,33892483,33891045,33886666,33883884,33892452,33883959,33889000,33888376,33884101,33886511,33887143,33885842,33884020,33885344,33884012,33883773,33883401,33886743,33888352,33883114,33886863,33885780,33890348,33890198,33885651,33887981,33883162,33888236,33883765,33885887,33889437,33885532,33883904,33889149,33885444,33883243,33886126,33882871],"score":246,"time":1670335840,"title":"Why do new cars look like wet putty?","type":"story","url":"https://www.blackbirdspyplane.com/p/why-do-new-cars-look-like-this"}],[32470645,{"by":"sbf501","descendants":351,"id":32470645,"kids":[32471708,32470868,32472245,32473393,32471316,32473308,32471816,32475491,32472223,32474439,32471234,32471956,32471298,32471710,32472176,32476774,32473702,32471279,32475724,32472304,32471760,32477440,32471209,32471009,32479100,32471484,32471856,32522994,32480007,32471289,32473001,32478193,32472782,32473857,32480342,32472150,32471083,32480103,32471116,32476425,32472164,32475552,32472724,32478981,32478144,32472719,32476759,32471026,32471369,32473020,32478177,32477996,32472933,32476419,32478045,32473467,32492851,32471831,32472579,32473443,32474038,32479728,32477532,32479378,32470886,32470835,32473278,32475781,32472983,32472374,32478189,32477228,32472126,32476699,32473908,32475019,32472685,32474549,32472971,32476174,32472454,32479521,32475975,32491627,32476002,32473879,32474939,32473808,32472542,32489406,32480004,32473082,32474007,32473807,32478407,32474751,32473496,32476444,32472072,32471379,32474925,32476631,32473298,32472485,32470695,32472541,32476619,32483931,32474089,32479237,32471035,32472144,32475681,32472738,32472463,32471688,32478551,32476816,32470976,32470938,32478314,32475370,32476509,32472618,32471785,32479687,32477104,32474265,32478865,32476063,32474955,32473761,32475386,32472714,32472964,32472469,32474512,32473825,32472381,32474456,32478031,32480003,32475415,32473816,32470684,32475833,32474130,32472630,32486819,32473245,32472296,32471695],"score":377,"text":"For 10 years I've been using a custom email for every retailer I shop at that asks for an email address, always in the form of "company@mydomain.com".
