Smart Android App - Character Sheet Tracker

[Corrupt Sintax]

MY NEW PROJECT -Character Sheet/Tracker as an Android App.

I love Hero Quest, and the nostalgia it brings! I remember playing the original with my friends when I was a kid. When I saw Hasbro made a reprint in 2021, I snatched it up and got to work painting every miniature and furniture. I am amazed at the size of the fan-base around this classic game, and excited to see what kind of response I get on this project. I am a commercial truck driver, and on the road for 1-2 months at a time. I keep the game back at my parents' house, so when I do get home-time, Hero Quest is something my kids and family come together to play. Making those core memories for the next generation,

I wanted to create something for this community of fellow Hero Quest lovers, but also as a project to give myself something to do while out on the road. I am using Claude.ai to write the code for this Character Sheet Tracker. Claude.ai is a coding website using AI, allowing you to design an application with normal human language, kinda like ChatGPT. Based on your instructions and description, it will write the functional code for you. They call it "Vibe-Coding". I have also previously coded/installed a small Android app with Claude and Android Studio. I wanted to familiarize myself with the Android environment and prove that I could get it to work.

While in development, I have made this a browser-based application for quick review of the output and changes. When it gets to a point where it is good enough to release, I will convert it into an Android App for download. I have been informed by other users that you will need to make a Claude.ai account to use this app. It's free to make an account, so no worries. You could even try your hand at Vibe-Coding by pressing the [Customize] button. This will bring what I have created into your own chat, and allow you to start adding to it independently. No coding knowledge required!

It is open for anyone to use freely, as is; however, there are a few things to note:
- The File Save/Upload functions for Level Ranges & Monsters sections do not work in this browser version (at least until I compile it for Android, hopefully).
- Unchecking the 2 Display Options at the bottom of the Config tab will disable the Homebrew functions, which I am planning to use for my own games.
- All fields you edit in the Config tab, and the Characters you save, should persist across browser sessions, even with a free account.
-The Level Ranges & XP-Gold values are saved globally, separately from your saved Characters. Meaning the Level and XP-Gold values will not change from character to character.
- The values for the Level Ranges and XP-Gold from Monsters are just generic. They do not represent what the defaults will be in the final app. If someone wants to provide a link/resource for this to reference, I am open to any suggestions.
Guess those are the only major things I can think of atm.

How-to-use:
When first starting to use HQ Character Tracker, enter a name, then select a character. The attributes will be auto-filled with the base stats/weapons. Next, go to the Config tab and enter some Bonus modifiers for the Level Ranges, and give the XP-Gold for monsters some appropriate values. Don't forget to save your changes when finished. Next, go to the Combat tab, and start pressing the Hit/Killed buttons until you gain a level or two. When you go back to the Character tab, you will see that the base stats will automatically reflect the new values. If you only want to use this as a basic Character Sheet, at the bottom of the Config tab, you can Show/Hide the XP-&-Mana functions.

I have coded all the defaults for the base game system, as I only own the 2021 Reprint. I have never played any of the expansions. However, I wanted to give the ability for users to add information/data (even save and share those files) for expansions, as to future-proof the usability of this app. Please note that I will be adding the ability to add Weapons/Armor/Inventory/Items to the Config tab, which will be what the Character tab sections will populate their lists from.

I'm hoping enough people will find this a useful thing, and I'm not just wasting my time. Then again, my kids and I will be using it regardless, so I guess it's not totally a waste. I am at the point where I could really use some feedback from users. I am sure there are no bugs in the code, as this AI is pretty good at what it was trained for.

In closing, I hope to hear from those who like all things Hero Quest. Send me your thoughts, comments, critiques, etc.
Thank you,

How does it handle data? I admit I'm not familiar with "Claude" but I see you need a Claude account to use this...

[Corrupt Sintax]

I'm not quite sure what you are asking for. Perhaps you could be more specific. Here it goes anyway.
It handles data entirely inside the program. Once I finish the development stage, I will have Claude.ai convert it to Android code. Then it will just save everything to the phone's storage. Now that you made me think about it, I think I will add a way to save the character data to a file as well, so it can be backed-up or loaded on another phone. I didn't realize you needed a Claude.ai account to even see the temporary public app. If you want to see what it can do, I guess just create an account. It is free.
by the way, thanks for the response and inquiry.

Ah, so it's just proof of concept using Claude logic? I tried to get to it, but it seems to not exist anymore.

Hi! My brother and I used to play this MANY years ago and just yesterday dusted off the box and played using the Hasbro/Avalon android Zargon. It was AWESOME....
BUT... We can't use any of our homebrew stuff with it. So, I think I'm gonna have to be ZARGON again...unless I can find an alternative (possibly AI based?) What do you all think? Create a chatbot ZARGON? Or has someone already done so?
Excited to find this forum still ALIVE!

Sup Broski! Sorry for the outdated link. I have updated. This personal project is just another way to digitally replace the paper character sheets. I am hopefull for your feed-back on what I have done wrong.
P.S. Being Zargon is the most fun to be had in this game.
