9-year-old Nigerian kid creates more than 30 mobile games

9-year-old Nigerian kid creates more than 30 mobile games9-year-old Basil Okpara Jr. from Nigeria has created more than 30 car racing, running and hide and seek games.

He uses a free programming application, Scratch 2 to build mobile games.
 	Scratch 2 allows users to create games, animations, and stories online or offline.
 	Basil's games are still in their basic form and can currently only be accessed on computers that have Scratch 2 installed.
 	But one of them, titled Frog attack, will be available to the public on Google play store in August 2019.

Basil lives in a suburb of Nigeria's commercial centre, Lagos.

He learned how to build games at a boot camp his father signed him up for.
 	Codefest International organised the camp to give children access to emerging technologies like robotics and virtual reality.
 	Growing up, Basil used to play a lot of mobile games.
 	Seeing his interest, his father bought him a laptop and encouraged him to create his own games that others could play too.
