Here is another Game Talk about an app called "LitterbugSmash" which is available in the App Store and Google Play Store for free. Let's 'smash' into it.

LitterbugSmash is a game where the main character Triple T the turtle travels around the ocean collecting rubbish that has been littered. The app was created by an 11 year old boy called Hamish Finlayson with ASD or Autism Spectrum Disorder. ASD is a disorder of brain development and as Hamish said, it means you can't stand loud noises or you follow a certain pattern when walking in the mall. This game was created when he was 10 and here is more about the game in a video below.

Hamish was invited to the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in America with special guests Mark Zuckerberg the creator of FaceBook and US President Barack Obama. However, his family did not have enough money to afford flights. They set up a crowdfunding page to help get money and luckily they raised enough to get him over there. The app he uses to create his apps is HyperPad which uses simple programming to create great games.

He has created 3 more apps which are called ASD and Me, Keep Calm and Save Turtles and Litter Book of Facts which are all free.
