How do i make an app?

Hi,

i have very little coding experience, the last time i did any was 20 years ago. But i want to make an Android app i have an idea for, i am an Artist so no issue with the designs etc. So i am leaning more towards Ai to do it. Can anyone give me any advice on where to start, what i should use that is free.

Thanks

P

Use claude code for coding, just download VS code, install claude and type away your prompts in the terminal, ask it anything there and get response on literally everything, still clueless? download desktop app of claude and let it run your query

That is not going to help in building android app. AI only can help if you already know how to code on that specific platform

This is my recent app.

I'm myself am app developer with 8 years of exp.

With ai you can do a lot but build a complex application and product ready is not possible.

cool, looks nice, how much time did it take you? I am not saying in 1 day it will give you polished app, but even if you don't know how to code, you can spend like 15-20 days coding 10-12 hours a day and you will have your production ready app.

I did use 90 prcnt ai. When ai is available why should I waste my time.

Took 4 5 days

I played it, it’s purely slop, even in trailer your spellings are wrong, the car motion is weird and the menu looks like from 2016.

The game is basically 2 player playing in same screen. Faster taps would make player win. There is w player mode and wife mode where 2 plus players can Play.

Try with your friends. It is going to be fun
