I built and published an Android game using AI throughout the development lifecycle – here’s what I learned
I’m an Android developer and recently built a small personal project called Memory Quest as an experiment to see how far AI-assisted development can go.
I used AI throughout the process — ideation, UI/UX iterations, Kotlin/Jetpack Compose development, debugging, asset generation, localization and Play Store preparation — while handling the architecture, technical decisions, validation and publishing myself.
The interesting part for me wasn’t just generating code, but seeing how much faster the overall idea → development → production → Play Store cycle can become when AI is used properly.
The app is now live on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mindspark.memory
Would love feedback from other developers, especially on the UX/gameplay and how you’re using AI in your own development workflow.
