My kids often ask me to print math puzzles/crosswords/etc from the web. There was a particular maze puzzle that my older one really liked, but it seemed she had already finished every single one I could find. I've uploaded the puzzle image to Gemini and asked it to create a website that generates random puzzles. In less than a minute it had a fully working faithful generator. My kid had suggestions on how to make the puzzles more challenging (more operations, larger grids, etc) and Gemini implemented them without breaking a stride. After that we asked for more puzzle ideas and created generators for each one on the spot. Was the code pretty? Nope. Did it achieve its purpose? Yup. Did it perform in minutes work that would take at least a few hours[1]? Absolutely. [1] Quality notwithstanding, but my manager (i.e. my kid) only cares about the end result ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ | ||
