Building Spookseek AR on Replit: How a Designer Shipped an AR Ghost Hunting Game in a Week
Ruth Heasman, a designer with no prior coding experience, successfully developed an augmented reality ghost-hunting game called Spookseek AR within a week using the Replit platform. She leveraged Replit Agent to assist in creating a custom 3D system, overcoming limitations in Expo's ARKit support. The game utilizes various phone hardware features like the camera, motion sensors, and haptics to provide an immersive experience, with the goal of shipping a functional app for a mobile buildathon.
