Schoolboy Conner Haines inviting cancer patients to request ideas for future titles

An aspiring games developer aged eleven wants to raise money for charity by creating a range of iPhone and iPad apps for other children.
Pennsylvanian Conner Haines (pictured) has established a non-profit organisation, called Believe, that promises to direct all App Store revenues to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

One of his games in development, called Take Me Back, is an adventure title where the lead protagonist must travel home from outer space.
“The game should be finished in 2013,” he told regional newspaper Berks Mont News (http://www.berksmontnews.com/articles/2012/01/16/tri_county_record/news/doc4f147dab91147241610257.txt).
On his website, flipflopgames.com (http://www.flipflopgames.org/about.html), Haines has established a contact page where 5-12 year old cancer patients can send him ideas for games to create.
