Prototyping with Jetpack Compose
summary
Builds a playable prototype of The New York Times Crossword using Jetpack Compose and a 5x5 mini crossword board, with a concrete claim: recreated letters, cell numbers, selection modes, and a check‑work feature that draws a red strikeout via Canvas. Uses density ambient to auto‑size text, composes stateful board and view‑model events, embeds an old Android KeyboardView for input, and ships example code and a GitHub project.
