Centipede! Could AI build this arcade classic? Watch Claude generate a playable Centipede game from one single prompt! The AI: https://claude.ai/ The Prompt: Create a simplified web-based arcade game similar to Centipede using HTML Canvas and JavaScript. The player controls a small cannon at the bottom of the screen, capable of moving left and right and firing single shots upwards. A multi-segmented 'centipede' enemy moves horizontally across the screen, descending one step when it hits the screen edge. Implement basic collision detection: player shots destroy centipede segments. When a segment is destroyed, it can leave behind a 'mushroom' obstacle. The player cannot move through mushrooms. Use simple shapes (rectangles, circles) for all game elements. Display a basic score. Focus on core mechanics of player movement, shooting, centipede movement, and collisions.

Yes, I know, it sounds utterly crazy...but its true. I woke up this morning to my daily app that has been crafted for me. So obviously there was a prompt (two in fact) involved in creating this, but I had nothing to do with it. It was fully automated. So the prompt was automatically created for me (actually taking inspiration from any current news, entertainment news, or sports news). In this case it took some sports news of the day and ran with that. Below are two versions of the game it created. The first is what I woke up to, fully working but a bit basic (but actually fun and addictive which was a bit of a surprise). Here it is: HEAT CHECK The second version below is after a few more prompts to add some additional modes including two player. It's meant to be played on iphone (it should be PWA compliant so add to home screen and play from there so it behaves like a native app) but should work on phone too. Please note that Gemini AI Studio is not my normal platform to code in, however I'm using it for the zero code experiments as I have some credits to burn (EDIT: now has GLOBAL HIGH SCORES but you will need to login with a Google account to post a high score when asked to prevent spamming) https://heat-check-231071165515.us-west1.run.app/ I will do a follow up post to this of the first ZERO PROMPT game that I came up with (well in fact I didn't actually come up with it all lol, just came up with the process) which it decided to do based on the news surrounding Artemis II!!

See my other Zero Prompt post for more details...but thought I would share the first zero prompt game I received. Again, I set up the process to do this (just an experiment at the moment that I'm tweaking), but once I have set it all up once now I just receive daily games which is bases of current news or entertainment stories. This one was inspired by Artemis II (and actually before Artemis II got to the moon it started the player whatever distance it was actually from the moon in real time, now that it got there it starts from earth). Its created a flappy bird clone basically, so nothing too exciting or creative, but if you do get to the moon you get to to some surface stuff and the mechanic of starting the player from the location of Artemis II in real time was a neat idea for sure: https://orion-rush-526923614522.us-west1.run.app/ Unlike the HEAT CHECK game in my other post that had an original version and also one I tweaked, this one is just purely the Zero Prompt game as handed over to me without me doing anything apart from publishing it. This is early days of this process and I plan on refining the workflow and method significantly, but the fact that I'm getting playable (and in some cases actually FUN) games created for me without me actually doing anything at this point feels like something of a breakthrough. PS will work on touch screen or PC, however on iphone its very tricky as the game currently doesn't scale it depending on screen size, so iphone gives the player much less space to avoid things.!

Minesweeper! Think you can build this classic logic puzzle with just one prompt? The AI: https://claude.ai The Prompt: Create a basic Minesweeper game using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The game should have a 10x10 grid of cells. Randomly place 15 mines within this grid. When a cell is clicked, if it's a mine, the game ends and all mines are revealed. If it's not a mine, reveal the cell. If the cell has no adjacent mines, automatically reveal all adjacent non-mine cells (recursive reveal). If the cell has adjacent mines, display the count of adjacent mines. Allow right-clicking to flag a cell. The game is won when all non-mine cells are revealed. Visually, unrevealed cells are grey, flagged cells have an 'F' symbol, mines are red 'X' when revealed, and safe cells show black numbers. Provide all code in a single HTML file.
