(I found it easier to locate a replay on my laptop rather than the one he's using in the picture.) Eric vs. the computer on "very easy" Edit: Note how when the computer surrenders, he clicks "no" and continues to destroy buildings. Often, he'll return to the game after that's done and continue building his army, then a-clicks them around on his own buildings and units to see them kill his own stuff. | ||

It's already strange trying to explain why my uncle is 40~ years older than my mother. Have fun when that happens >.< But that is still really cute  | ||

hello there! my son who is 6 also plays SC2. First, he perfected the 6pool, which he still executes quite successfully. He won many games on a ladder and had a lot of fun. Then he was not interested in it any more, and didn't play that much ladder. But recently he has actually won some 'normal' games in bronze. Probably he just grasped something, as based on the replays he's doing workers and army quite consistently, and he appears to take even expos. We often play together against the computer. | ||

Even when he knew which one he wanted to click, he'd click the wrong one. When he switched to the trackpad, those problems went away, because he would command-click instead of right-clicking, and using both hands (rather than two fingers on the same hand) was easier for him. It's been interesting to watch him learn to play, because his manual coordination is so limited at his age. He has to do all kinds of things to compensate for lack of fine motor control. His understanding of what's going on in the game is way ahead of what he can make his hands do (or, in the case of making probes and pylons, what he can remember to do.) Incidentally, it took him a few hours to realize that when his buildings stop making things, it's because he needs more pylons. After mastering this detail, he came to me and asked "why can't I build anything? I've made more pylons and it's still stuck!" at which point I had to explain the 200 supply cap. (and yes, he likes to get to 200 supply on one base before attacking the computer, which is set to "Easy.") The downside to introducing him to the game is that he insists on making his parents and grandparents watch his hour-plus replays. Here is an amazing solution to the mouse clicking problem - as I had the same thing with miniWHEAT. The EASY way to do this is to get a red sticker and a blue sticker and instead of saying left and right click, you can make it BLUE and RED click. I put blue on LEFT and red on RIGHT (which works good since red can be associated with "attacking"). Alternatively there is a better solution but it costs money: http://www.amazon.com/Chester-Creek-Funkeyboard-Funmouse-Detection/dp/B005Y5XVA2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1327767270&sr=8-4 This keyboard mouse combo is great for any kid. Nice sized keyboard and mouse, but more importantly, the mouse is already color coded and is perfect for little hands. After getting this, suddenly the concept of two clicks was easily understood and it changed his level of play compeltely. Good luck! | ||
