I wanted to try and make a word game that is somewhat original (I hope). The game is played on a chess board using a set of Scrabble letter tiles and scoring values and using a knight piece to move around the board and select the letters to create and score points with.

The game currently only works well in desktop browsers and is more or less unplayable on mobile.
I managed to get to this stage quite easily by prompting the Agent with the original game idea and getting the initial prototype build and then asking Assistant for tweaks and bug fixes.
Other features I could add would be a leaderboard, a game of the day that gives all players the same starting board instead of a random one and maybe more, but I find the game quite difficult and I’m not sure how much interest others would have in playing something like this.
For lack of an actual leaderboard, if you want to prove your competitiveness, you can share a screenshot with your score here. This is my final score in a playtest I did while developing this. If you can form words that are 7 letters or longer you can easily beat it.
I actually tried to ask both Agent and Assistant to make the game’s interface responsive and both of them failed, though Agent got pretty close. I guess I should have included that in the original prompt straight away.
I will see if I want to spend more on this or not. For now, it was a fun little project I spent about 1.5-2 hours on in an evening and I hope you enjoy it. It’s still crazy to me that I can build a prototype or even a final product with zero web-dev knowledge in a few hours like this. Go Replit!
