This project was inspired by the YouTube video - Using GitHub Copilot to build a mobile app without writing a SINGLE line of code. Let's put AI to a real test here. Can you build a native mobile app - a game - without actually writing a single line of code? Can you just show it pictures of your game and have it create the UI? Yes. And it's remarkably good.
