A solo maker shipped a word game with help from Claude Code
de Broglie is a Boggle-style word game that has been released on the App Store. It began as a small , then grew into months of work on animations, shadows, colors, typography, and touch interactions. A Boggle-style game can create millions of letter board combinations, so a slow word-checking method can make the game lag on phones.
The word search uses a so the app can check boards quickly, even with larger grids. The app was also profiled and optimized so taps, screen changes, and animations feel smooth. Claude Code helped with algorithm choices, idea refinement, edge cases, and faster iteration.
The final choices and stayed with the maker, but the made the work move faster than it would have alone.
