Amid Coronavirus lockdown while most kids homeschooling, Lupo Daturi, a fourth-grader, has been spending his time creating a video game. According to an international media outlet, Lupo lives in Milan, which has been under lockdown since March 8. As he had to stop all the sports he used to play due to such unprecedented times, he reportedly said that he turned his attention to programming, a passion that he shares with his father. 

As per reports, Lupo took several online tutorials and started to work on his new game, Cerba-20. While speaking to the media outlet, the fourth-grader said that his game is fairly typical, the ‘seek and destroy’ with lasers kind. He added that, however, in this game, the player is in the captain’s chair of the Cerba-10 spacecraft and the enemy is COVID-19.
