Solve 4 X

This project contains the code referenced in my ChatGPT: Total game-changer, still no I in AI blog posts (Part 1 / Part 2).

The goal was to create an algorithm to solve a unique problem so that I could generate hints for the game 4=10. I initially tried to see if I could get ChatGPT to write the algorithm for me, but ultimately failed. The remainder of the project was built while using ChatGPT as a sort of assistant, with mixed results. In the end, very little of the code appearing in this project was actually produced by ChatGPT.

Contents

• util contains a python script for generating an equation map.
• workers contains the Cloudflare Workers for solving the equations.

These were based on templates provided by Cloudflare (github). Note: the solver-emscripten worker doesn't currently build, but the C code itself runs fine.

• component contains the vue.js web component that connects to the workers API and provides hints based on the solutions it receives from the worker.

Please keep in mind this is a clunky, over-engineered solution that was built as a fun project to test the capabilities and limitations of ChatGPT, and tinker with novel technologies.
