My first AI-assisted project
KartLab
I started with a question from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: if I keep my favorite driver but change the vehicle or tires, what do I gain and what do I give up?
KartLabMario Kart 8 Deluxe build finderTwo builds, side by side
I built a garage where a player can pick a driver, vehicle, tires, and glider for each build. The stat breakdown shows how each part contributes to the total, so a single swap is easy to compare.
Keep the parts you like
Lock a favorite part and choose “Surprise Me” to change the rest. A build worth keeping can be named and saved in this browser, then loaded into either comparison slot.
How the finder works
I used AI to help build the app. The finder itself calculates and sorts combinations from a historical game dataset. With tires and glider fixed, it ranks 1,640 driver and vehicle pairings by the stat the player chooses.
My evaluation
The side-by-side view answers a narrow question well: what changes between these two setups? A higher stat alone cannot tell a player which build they’ll enjoy driving. The dataset also reflects an earlier game version.
