LinkLevel Gamified Learning through AI
Take any article URL and generate a fully playable quiz voyage. You answer questions, fight bosses, and sail your ship across a procedural map — all derived from content you actually want to learn.
In Week 3 of SpringIntoAI, Eric Rhea challenges us here to build a tool that makes it fun to learn about a topic using AI.
Using Chat GPT and Claude I created LinkLevel. It takes any article URL and uses AI to generate a fully playable quiz voyage. You answer questions, fight bosses, and sail your ship across a procedural map, all derived from content you actually want to learn.
I focused on mobile layout only, as I wanted this to be something that is easily accessible.
I gleaned inspiration from Myles submission here. He built an app that helps you put things you want to remember in places you can picture. He cleverly uses a server side OpenAI rest API to tailor the experience to a user’s own photo of a room.
The Process:
I dialoged at length with GPT 5.2 on ideas for this. Once I had it dialed in, I asked GPT for a summary prompt that I could pass to V0.app to build. It worked. V0 just made the app in a few minutes.
From there it was fun to play through, mitigate friction, and make tweaks...until I ran out of tokens.
That was a learning experience.
I then pushed the project to a repo, and continued locally using Claude...until I ran out of tokens again around 1am. “Your tokens will reset at 3 am.” ehhh time for bed anyway.
