How ChatGPT is Super Powering my Programming

Python is my passion, as evidenced by my other Medium articles and the books I’ve authored. But recently, after getting hooked on Wordle, an online game I play every day with family members distributed all over the country, I decided to try creating a JavaScript based online game that I’ve been mulling over for a long time. It went very, very well, mostly because ChatGPT helped me out, and that’s what this article is about.

FourSkor is Alive

First, feel free to play my game! It’s free, it keeps a daily score for your one official daily game, plus the average score for your last seven games, and a handful of people (so far) are enjoying it every day. See if you like it…

The instructions are simple. You tap, click, or type two characters and they are then swapped in the 4 x 4 grid of characters. For example, here’s the start of the game, where all squares are dark, meaning that none of the letters are in their correct rows or columns.

FourSkor just before the E and the L are clicked

As a first move click on the E and the L. They get swapped, and the blue and yellow squares tell you that the L is now in the correct column and the E is in the right row, even though they aren’t yet in the exactly right locations.
