My Codex usage cap has reset, so it's time for another big porting project. This time, replacing my crummy old Android version of Lights Off with a version that matches the modern iOS app 1:1.
Whenever it goes astray, I tell it to look back at the iOS code and make things look / layout exactly like that
And with an evening of prompting, I have got a complete port of the modern version of Lights Off on Android, in Java/XML, complete with responsive layout, themes, settings, animation, sound and more, using the latest iOS codebase as a reference. It matches the version on iPhone and iPad almost down to the last pixel. I haven't touched a line of code manually (except for the original Swift code), and Codex 5.3 did all the work. It completely replaces the old Android version I wrote a decade ago
@stroughtonsmith any reason you picked Java over Kotlin?
