Love this Craig! I have been listening with great interest to your coverage of AI tools on your podcast and experimenting myself.
I'm particularly excited for the potential to create games which are both genuinely fun (and hence engage children) and aligned to the national curriculum.
I thought you may be interested in one of my experiments . My 7yo son loves it - over the holidays he voluntarily answered over 1000 maths problems!
(totally free, no ads or other nonsense, i'm just an enthisiast)
One interesting aspect of this is is it built on top of a free 'maths question generator' which is aligned to the national curriculum, and can easily 'plug into' any game like this.
What an amazing achievement! Thanks for this. Any chance you could add the Core Maths Level 3 curriculum to your to do list to be featured on this site?

The code for all of this is free and open source:

Here's the problem generator, which you can ask an LLM to use as the problem generator for any new game:

There's several more maths apps and games on my son's website, again all free:
