Turns a user's described conflict into an 8-bit scene with Nano Banana, letting them replay it with alternate dialogue choices.
Description
We've all been there: lying in bed at night, eyes closed, but unable to sleep because our brains are replaying past mistakes—moments where we failed to fight back against verbal attacks, wishing for a chance to go back and fix it.
Checkpoint was created to realize this fantasy. By simply telling your story to Gemini 3, our prototype uses Nano Banana to instantly generate a personalized 8-bit game scene and dialogue. It allows you to travel back to that specific moment, re-experience the conflict, and simulate different endings.
Underlying this simple interaction is the principle of CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), specifically 'Imagery Rescripting.' By actively choosing new, healthier responses in a safe simulation, users can break the cycle of regret and gain closure."
README excerpt
This is a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org) project bootstrapped with [`create-next-app`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/cli/create-next-app). ## Getting Started First, run the development server: ```bash npm run dev # or yarn dev # or pnpm dev # or bun dev ``` Open [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with your browser to see the result. You can start editing the page by modifying `app/page.tsx`. The page auto-updates as you edit the file. This project uses [`next/font`](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/optimizing/fonts) to automatically optimize and load [Geist](https://vercel.com/font), a new font family for Vercel. ## Learn More To learn more about Next.js, take a look at the following resources: - [Next.js Documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs) - learn about Next.js features and API. - [Learn Next.js](https://nextjs.org/learn) - an interactive Next.js tutorial. You can check out [the Next.js GitHub repository](https://github.com/vercel/next.js) - your feedback and contributions are welcome! ## Deploy on Vercel The easiest way to deploy your Next.js app is to use the [Vercel Platform](https://vercel.com/new?utm_medium=default-template&filter=next.js&utm_source=create-next-app&utm_campaign=create-next-app-readme) from the creators of Next.js. Check out our [Next.js deployment documentation](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/deploying) for more details.
