Show HN: My journey into game development with AI
Downtime Offline puzzle games for flights and commutes. The overall idea for this application was based on my own experience when travelling on business trips and regularly commuting to the office. Most of the games I tried did require an online connection, or wasted my time waiting for and watching ads, or would require a significant time investment to learn and skill up, and overall longer time commitment.
