This is a bit ridiculous to be honest. I'm 15 and don't consider myself a programming, in fact I would say I can't program at all. But me and a friend "wrote"(well, we modified a few examples we found online and using a lot of pre-written code) a few Android apps one or two years ago. It was far away from this advanced thing as a game, but I don't really think it's a huge thing just because he's 14. Also, there is tools[1] these days that do most stuff for you. Using them I would probably been able to ship apps and games back when I got into these stuff. I don't want to ship products though, well not anymore, I want to write good code.

Well, it's not the same to publish apps which have drag drop interfaces and don't involve programming and programming a game with unity (game engine used by JuggleIt). Just because you could create an app without programming or using pre-written code doesn't make a game less "good".

Also, what is ridiculous about this?

Of course it doesn't make the game less good, but it's not like this kid did something extremely remarkable thing like some people here seem to make it. That's what makes it a bit ridiculous.

The game itself doesn't matter, it's the appreciation that matters; his persistence, his urge to learn and to create something – that's what matters most. This kid did something that he should be proud of.
