## Overview

This repository is a local coding-model comparison, not an application: its main workflow is to give matching prompts to Qwen and DeepSeek through the pi coding agent, then retain their generated HTML and compare outcomes and timings. The three task branches cover a weather dashboard, a canvas tower-defense game, and a spreadsheet with a formula engine; the spreadsheet also records feedback rounds and fresh-session, low-reasoning-effort runs. The README documents the workflow and results, but no implementation excerpts are available, so the graph omits internal runtime details.

Main entry points: [`01-easy-weather-dashboard`](https://github.com/barty-bart/qwen-vs-deepseek-local-coding/tree/main/01-easy-weather-dashboard) (Weather outputs), [`02-medium-tower-defense`](https://github.com/barty-bart/qwen-vs-deepseek-local-coding/tree/main/02-medium-tower-defense) (Tower-defense outputs), [`03-hard-spreadsheet`](https://github.com/barty-bart/qwen-vs-deepseek-local-coding/tree/main/03-hard-spreadsheet) (Spreadsheet outputs), [`README.md`](https://github.com/barty-bart/qwen-vs-deepseek-local-coding/blob/main/README.md) (Timing and results)
