After several months of working on it in my limited free time, I’m excited to announce that my little video game, Duel Times, is finally finished and published!
The game is designed with education in mind—its main goal is to help kids sharpen their knowledge of multiplication tables. While there’s no direct competition, players can compare their results with friends, making it a fun and motivating way to complete the game.
You can find all the details about the game on this page. Feel free to share it with anyone—it’s completely free, ad-free, and the source code is open to all.
One of the most enjoyable parts of this project, for me, was experimenting with generative AI to create the visual and musical elements. I’m aware of the ongoing ethical debates surrounding AI and the impact on artists, and I share some of those concerns. However, in this case, generative AI made this project possible. Since the aim is purely educational, with no profit involved, I’m glad that this technology was available to support a project that helps kids learn.
