Well, let me qualify that post title a little – some of you may be fortunate enough to be smarter than 9 year old Lim Ding Wen, but I know for damn sure that I am not. Lim Ding Wen is the developer of a new iPhone application called Doodle Kids. And it’s in the App Store, popular, and a very good looking app.
Quick recap – 9 years old, has developed an iPhone app that’s got into the App Store (and has nothing to do with rude sounds or bodily functions). Yeah, more than a tiny bit smarter than me.
Doodle Kids draws random shapes in random colors at random sizes ‘to create a beautiful effect’. It’s easy and fun to mess around with – as it should be, since it was ‘designed specifically for his sisters and all the kids in the world’.
It’s a no frills sort of app – it does what it does, there are no options that you can set, but it’s well done just the same. You can tap with two fingers at any point to get a new screen in a randomly generated color. If you want to save a creation in the app, you need to just use the iPhone’s built-in screen capture utility.
Ding Wen is fluent in six programming languages (!!!) and also has another app on the way apparently – called Invader Wars.
I can’t wait to see what my daughter thinks of Doodle Kids – and know she’ll be well impressed that a 9 year old produced it!
Doodle Kids is out now in the App Store, and is a free program.
