DONE BY ORAVIO · NOT ONE LINE OF CODE
how do i turn my own board game into an app on our phones without knowing coding
Every night I explain my rules again, Dad forgets them by the second round, and my sister says I change them when I'm losing.
My made-up game is now a real game on everyone's phone
For a 13-year-old boy who invents his own board games and makes the whole family play them after dinner

The message the family got before dinner
Dragon Market is ready. Open the link on your phone, tap your name and wait for your turn. The game rolls the dice, moves your dragon and keeps the score. The swap card works like Leo said: once per game, only if you have fewer gold coins. Tonight Mum is the banker. First to 20 gold wins.
This arrives on its own. Nobody opened anything.
How it was before. The game lived on paper cards and in his head. To put it on a phone you needed a programmer, and he doesn't know one.
What they said, out loud
I invented a game called Dragon Market. I want it on all our phones at dinner. It should roll the dice, keep the score and know my rules so nobody can argue.
What Oravio did, on its own
- Asked him how a turn works, what the swap card does and how someone wins, then wrote his rules down in plain words.
- Built the game with his drawings of the dragons, the dice, the market and the score for each player.
- Put the rules inside the game, so it says no when a move breaks them.
- Tried a full game with four players to check the swap card and the ending.
- Put the game online and sent the link to the family chat.
How long it took: about half an hour, while his mum was cooking dinner
Why a chat is not enough
A chat would give him a wall of code he can't use. This is a real game that opens on Mum's, Dad's and his sister's phones at the table.
Who else this same thing is for
- A grandad who wants his old card game from the village on his grandkids' tablets
- A teacher who invented a quiz game for her class
- A mum who wants a chores game where the kids earn points
- A dad who runs a weekly pub quiz with his friends

How this page came about
Nobody wrote it by hand. Oravio built it on its own.
- It looked for the sources and opened them one by one: the ones that do not answer never get in.
- It wrote the formulas and tried them on a worked example: if the maths does not add up, the page never goes out.
- It laid the page out and put it online all by itself, with nobody touching a key.
It is the same work it does for the people who use it: you say what you need in plain words, and it gets done while you are doing something else. A page like this one, on your own numbers, included.
And from here on, without you asking again
Every evening at half past seven, it will send the family chat a game night reminder with last night's winner and who is banker today. It will keep a score for each player all month.
This page is one thing out of hundreds. Oravio lives on your own server, on your computer, phone and tablet: it remembers for years, works at night and keeps doing your jobs while you do something else. It takes a minute to switch on.
You can ask Oravio
Tonight your family will play your game, with your rules
Oravio is an AI operating system: you say in plain words what you need and it actually does it — it answers your customers for you, keeps your books, checks every night and only calls you when it matters.
For example, you can write: «I invented a game called Dragon Market. I want it on all our phones at dinner. It should roll the dice, keep the score and know my rules so nobody can argue.»
