5天完成构思设计12岁男孩研发程式防掉手机

（大山脚15日讯）12岁那年，你在忙什么？忙补习？忙电玩？

12岁那年，还在大山脚平民小学念六年级的林文捷研发了手机安全警报程式，并在苹果应用商店（App Store）分发。

文捷经常会掉电话，每次都要妈妈提醒，这给了他研发手机安全警报程式的灵感。当手机掉出口袋或有人要从包包里拿手机，警报就会大响。这构思及设计，只用了5天就完成。

9000人下载使用，主要用户来自美国。


半年分发另6手机程式

文捷的手机安全警报程式，是在去年10月1日发布，短短9天内便获得3万7400人下载，更获得苹果用户给予4星评级。

林永达随后建议文捷根据用户回应，将这免费程式改为收费程式，价格在10天内从原先99仙美金（约马币4令吉20仙）上调至70元美金（约马币295令吉）。

接下来半年内，文捷陆续分发另外6个手机程式，包括个人日记、倒数计时、iPad版WhatZapp、高度尺、井字棋游戏及专为槟城房产论坛开发的iOs程式。

所有程式下载人次高达17万6000人，其中iPad版WhatZapp程式获得7万7000人下载；个人日记程式也有1万8000人使用，更获得了4.5星的评级。

培养孩子兴趣不娇纵

第一次访问天分极高、略带腼腆害羞的男生，一度因此而有些词穷，幸而文捷那可爱的妹妹不时说几句逗弄哥哥缓和气氛，也显示了这两兄妹平日感情融洽。
看着那些令我头疼眼花缭乱的程式语言，我处于好奇问了句：编码如此复杂，不难吗？

没想到文捷笑笑说：“不会啊！我不知该怎么说，反正我就是懂它。”我脑海当下只有一句话：果然是天才
