Big 2 Wild's tactic

Big 2 Wild · B2C · Big 2 card game

Build a tiny practice app in 6 weeks to learn launching before the real one

Taught AI-assisted building and app store approval; lessons fed the main game

Before the main game, built a simple card game (Big 2 Wild, a game he played with friends in high school) in about 6 weeks with AI assistants, deliberately small in scope, to learn AI-assisted development, end-to-end building, app store approvals and launching.
