Sayntax is a programming language kids can speak. Children aged 7–12 describe a game in their own words, press Play, and it runs instantly in the browser.

Kids write in one notebook, mixing Sayntax steps with messy sentences like "a cat that catches falling fish." Meta Muse (Muse Spark) tidies only the lines it can't read, turning them into real Sayntax steps in place. The result is a program kids can read, change and learn from, not a black box. Drag-and-drop stickers and ready-made pixel characters help them go further, from catch games to small RPGs.

I built it because I watched classmates give up on coding when the syntax overwhelmed them. Under the hood, Sayntax is a real language with its own forgiving parser, game engine and canvas renderer, so games run with no AI needed. Muse is only called for new words. Autocorrect and caching handle everything else, which keeps it fast and cheap.
