When it comes to coding, Claude can do the heavy lifting.

I’ve taken countless courses and tested apps to learn coding but it never clicks.  I can rework code or write HTML but that’s my limit.  Plenty of ideas but no way to put them into existence.  Claude comes around and changes everything.  Now those shortcomings are offloaded to Anthropic’s AI app.

It’s like having a coder in-house, having some experience is helpful in some cases but for the most part, you’ll be able to figure it out.  I’ve made two apps –  the first I’m working on is an IOS game while the one I’m launching here –  Emoji Fusion, is a game made for the web.

What Is Emoji Fusion?

My end goal was Connections with Emojis. The popular NY Times game where you create categories with the words given. Emoji Fusion is a playful and creative app.  In version one, you can experiment with as many combinations

Looking ahead, version two may introduce a daily puzzle format, similar to Connections, where players tackle a fresh challenge each day. I’m working on that currently. For now, the beta version offers unlimited opportunities to experiment.’

This is 1.0 so please forward any changes you think should be made. 

The Role of AI in Emoji Fusion

Here’s why AI is a game-changer for developers:

• Quick Prototyping: AI helped me turn the idea for Emoji Fusion into a functional app faster than I thought possible.
• Debugging Assistance: Spotting and fixing errors became simpler, allowing me to focus on the creative side of the game. It found my errors in realtime.
• Learning Opportunity: Whether you’re a new coder or an experienced one, AI tools provide a way to improve your skills by assisting in weaker areas.

For Aspiring Coders: Get Inspired

If you’ve ever had an app idea but didn’t know where to start, let Emoji Fusion inspire you. With AI tools, turning your ideas into reality is more accessible than ever. This levels the playing field.

A Little Too Dark

Welcome to Middletown Middle School, where the unexplained is just another subject on the schedule. When fourteen-year-old Sam inherits a mysterious box of stories from Walter, a ninety-two-year-old neighbor who passes away, he uncovers nine chilling tales spanning over 150 years. Each story reveals another dark secret about Kansas's most enigmatic school - a place where janitors serve eternal contracts, mascots come alive, and even the school bus might be haunted. From Civil War deserters to robot uprisings, from ghostly face painters to mysterious creatures lurking in the woods, these interconnected stories paint a portrait of a school that's much more than just brick and mortar. It's a place where the impossible becomes probable, where the past never truly dies, and where every strange occurrence leads back to the same shadowy halls. Perfect for fans of Goosebumps and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, this anthology weaves together horror, history, and heart in a uniquely midwestern tapestry of terror. Step through these haunted halls... if you dare.
