A delightful experience of teaming up with ChatGPT to build a simple game

Playing the falling keys game

Recently, I teamed up with ChatGPT 3.5 to develop a simple stress-relief game that can be played on mobile browsers, and the experience was quite delightful.

And when I see them succeed, it gives me a sense of pride and fulfillment, knowing that I played a small part in their journey.
