Wanted to share a game I built. It's called Unscramble! and I believe it's the simplest word building game.

Rules: You get a few letters on screen. You need to make one word with all the letters. Tap a letter to select. Tap again to deselect. Faster you go, better you score.

If you enter anagrams of the word it's looking for, it gives you extra points. If you are stuck, you can either "Ask Friend" or get Hint.

You get extra points for getting the word fast but you don't get penalized for taking too long.

I believe the simplicity of the game along with big touch buttons makes it perfect for one handed use.

There's 6 difficulty levels in the game, and settings for things like toggling the timer, relaxing background music, sound effects, haptic feedback, removing the background animation.

If you want to try:

Would love to hear feedback to improve it.

I spent the last few weeks analyzing what Claude did, feeding it my 33 years of memory of how I built the game, my notes and the git repos. It wrote the first draft of the article, and I edited line by line over a week. The screenshots of my 1993 map editor is the first I have run it since then. The one thing I never verified myself is the 108-byte explanation.

"Before starting everything, the model assembled the code using vasm on my Mac, and kept going till the binary is byte-identical to the binaries I had in my original game. Even after that, the there was mismatch of about 108 bytes. I originally used AsmOne which assembles into memory, and the game saved into the disk by saving that memory after running the game. So the original shipped files are a snapshot of the game that had already been running, not clean asm-one output."

Please post any questions. I am also releasing the original game for free.
