📋 Project Overview & Creative Innovation
Challenge: Traditional storybook creation requires extensive artistic skills and time investment, while existing digital tools often lack personalization or interactive features for children's creative development.
Solution: AI Storybook Generator combines cutting-edge AI narrative generation with interactive coloring capabilities, enabling users to create personalized, multi-page storybooks that blend storytelling with hands-on creative activities.
Creative Benefits
- Personalized Storytelling: Generate unique narratives tailored to any theme or interest
- Interactive Learning: Combine reading, coloring, and text customization in one experience
- Artistic Development: Digital coloring tools with age-appropriate color palettes
- Narrative Continuity: AI maintains story coherence across multiple pages
- Print-Ready Output: Professional layout system for physical storybook creation

Advanced Technical Features
// Story continuity through context awareness
export async function generateStoryPage(
theme: string,
pageNumber: number,
previousStory?: string[]
): Promise<{ storyText: string; imageBase64: string; }> {
// Context-aware story generation
const contextPrompt = previousStory?.length
? `Continue this story: ${previousStory.join(' ')}`
: `Start a new story about: ${theme}`;
// Sequential narrative generation
return await genAI.generateContent({
prompt: contextPrompt,
generationConfig: { responseSchema: storySchema }
});
}
// Interactive coloring with flood-fill
const floodFill = (canvas: HTMLCanvasElement, x: number, y: number, color: string) => {
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
const imageData = ctx.getImageData(0, 0, canvas.width, canvas.height);
// Advanced flood-fill algorithm implementation
fillArea(imageData, x, y, hexToRgb(color));
ctx.putImageData(imageData, 0, 0);
};
