A clone of the New York Times Custom Connections game with customization features.

Project Summary

I developed a clone of the popular New York Times Connections game that allows users to create and share their own custom game boards. When the user shares their created puzzle the puzzle data is converted into a JSON string which is then encoded to base 64. From there the URL is shortened using tinyurl.

Technology Stack

Key Challenges

The main challenge was encoding the puzzle data into a base64 string and then shortning the link using tinyurl API.
