March Code Jam

During the month of March I'd thought I'd try something different. I'm going to be do some various projects to play with with different Generative AI related libraries, techniques, project ideas, etc.

I'm going to do it a little different (I think) than typical projects like this. I love the idea of a "A project a day" type of challenges but I wanted the flexibility of doing some "one day builds" but also have a few that took up multiple days.

The Rules

  1. A day is defined as 8 hours of "work" within one day.
  2. I must log what I'm doing every day and post about it on this blog and social media
  3. Each project is "done" when the time expires
  4. These won't necessarily be done on continuous days, but rather meant to be 10 projects throughout the month of March

Projects

Here's the breakdown

  • 10 Projects
    • 6 "one day builds"
    • 2 "two day builds"
    • 2 "three day builds"
    • 16 days total

Project Ideas

I'm style working out what projects I'm going to do but here are some ideas I've been brainstorming (with the help of ChatGPT):

  • Minecraft agent - A NPC style Minecraft character that uses GenAI
  • AI Story Generator: A tool that generates interactive stories based on a prompt.
  • AI Game Level Generator: Generate 2D platformer levels with AI.
  • AI Recipe Generator: Suggests unique recipes based on available ingredients.
  • AI Flashcard Generator: Converts text into interactive flashcards with spaced repetition.
