Chain Reaction

Possibly the first app I tried to make with ChatGPT.

Format: Word puzzles / Python / React
Status: EARLY CHATGPT ATTEMPT

WORKFLOW / SIMPLIFIED

WORD LIST
   ↓ Python conversion
JSON PUZZLES
   ↓ import
FIRESTORE → REACT VIEWER

A summary of the documented workflow.

01 / The project

Where I started

I think Chain Reaction — Word Chain Challenge was my first attempt at building an app with ChatGPT.

The surviving files show the beginnings: a word-list spreadsheet, scripts to convert and import puzzle data, and a small React interface that browses records from Firestore.

02 / Workflow

How it works

Prepare puzzle data

Start with word-chain material in a spreadsheet and convert it to JSON.

Import the records

Use a Python script to put the puzzle records into Firestore.

Inspect the result

Browse records in a React viewer with previous and next controls.

04 / Status

Where it stands

An early attempt, kept as part of the history. The surviving viewer is evidence of the build process, not proof of a completed playable game. I am not certain of the exact first-project chronology.
