Its contents were generated, completely or in part, with Claude (an AI assistant by Anthropic).AI-generated content:- All C# code: runtime scripts, Editor tools (Inspector, menus, demo generator), the demo controller and the sample scripts, plus the assembly definitions.- The demo content: card prefabs, example Carousel Data, demo scene and all demo images and icons, created by the demo generator, which was written with AI. The images are generated procedurally by code. No image-generation model was used and no third-party images are included.- The documentation (README and Changelog).Work by the publisher (CodeStart-AI): defined the product scope and features, imported and tested the package in Unity 6000.3.16f1, reported the problems found during testing and had them fixed, and reviewed the package before submission.
