I've been making digital art for nearly two decades, I started with MS paint, then tried krita for while, followed by Affinity designer and procreate. With the advent of generative art, I felt compelled to switch gears. I started sketching on paper and I'm now thinking about pivoting to painting with acrylics on canvas.

I made simple math game (mathabito.com). Not unhinged, but feels pointless in that nobody is going to play it.

I used claude to rebuild a simple mobile math game I had previously prototyped in GDevelop. the rebuild is ai assisted but the original game had been created entirely in GDevelop with the use of its visual programming.

I use Claude to brainstorm, then I ask Chatgpt and Gemini to 'stress test' the idea. This process helps me come up with better ideas and then I use Chatgpt or gemini to help me create the right prompts to feedback to Claude and iterate the idea further.

I'm working on Mathabito (https://mathabito.com/) - a suprisingly challenging addition and subtraction game. I'm currently testing multiplayer with peerJS, to figure out the best gamelogic. Right now it's a fully functioning single player experience with daily challenge.

Great game. I've been mulling over how to make scabble game with a twist, and I think you achieved this beautifully. Congratulations!

Interesting game. I suggest including a simple how-to-play animation in the main page, something that visually shows the rules/mechanics. Otherwise, there's going to be some friction for people to get into it. Claude can easily do this for you. I did it for my math game, which at launch I thought was super self explanatory, but even the most clever of my friends, had questions about the gameplay, which was easily answered with a visual cue! Having said that, happy to see others making thoughtful little games with Claude. Good luck.
