Simar Khurana, a 6-year-old Canadian, has entered the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's youngest video game developer.

By that time, she had been programming for about a year.

Finding a programming school for Simar was not easy, as most refused to accept such a young student.

As you know, in order to develop games, you need to be able to read and write well. The teachers had doubts about this, but in the end, her parents were able to find a teacher for her.

After just a few months of classes four times a week, Khurana felt she was ready to create her own video game.

The girl was inspired to do this after visiting her family doctor, who told her about the importance of eating right.

Simar decided to dedicate her first creation to the topic of healthy eating.

The game created by the record holder was called Healthy Food Challenge.

Its creator hopes that with the help of this game, other children will become familiar with balanced nutrition and learn to distinguish between unhealthy and healthy food.

According to the record holder, she loves mathematics and intends to devote her life to developing video games.

The girl is supported by her parents, especially her father, who was the first to notice her inclination towards the exact sciences.

He said that Simar learned mathematics on her own by watching videos online, and as a kindergarten student, she could easily solve problems intended for third-graders.
