Another cool part!

I was able to generate and validate tests. I was nervous the algorithm for the puzzle generation might have bugs or get into some huge "forever" computational loop. So I was able to easily generate tests for it. And then run and validate those tests! 🎉

One of the nicest parts was typing into Cursor: "I need to make the app icon be a favicon for the website" -- it just did it. In the past I'd have wasted like 20 minutes, mucking around with files and random websites to try and take my simple SVG/PNG and make it a favicon.

This has been fun for a few reasons:

* Used Cursor for 90% of the code/UI/UX
* _Finally_ got an app approved and didn't lose steam before it came out
* Doesn't require a remote server -- uses a cool seeding algorithm to generate a consistent puzzle for everyone

24 (puzzle) - Wikipedia

I was teaching the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_(puz... game to my eldest child last week.

💡So I made an "app for that" -- but a bit more random and fun.

You have a "goal" and a series of numbers. You can add, subtract, multiply, or divide to get to the "goal" www.crunchdaily.app
