Show HN: Vibe-coding video games with Claude (Day 21: Blackjack) (gamevibe.us)

2 points by pzxc ↗ HN
I used to run a flash games website (SWF files) years ago. I've made a few games of my own. I'm also an avid gamer and love to play games of all kinds.

I'm also a software engineer, and a few days ago I decided I wanted to run a games website again. So I bought the domain gamevibe.us and with the help of Claude I've been vibe-coding one video game every day since.

Happy to answer questions, take feedback, etc

Other games made in the past week (sometimes with a single AI prompt, sometimes multiple):

https://gamevibe.us/20-gem-cascade

https://gamevibe.us/19-flappy-bird

https://gamevibe.us/18-hexfield

https://gamevibe.us/17-connect-four

https://gamevibe.us/16-klondike-solitaire

https://gamevibe.us/15-emoji-mahjong

All the games have scoring to inspire a little competition, but it's mostly just to "scratch that itch" of making games again, even if AI is doing all the work. The majority of games I don't give any details at all and the AI just fills in all the blanks. I've spent a lot more time prompting to do the overall architecture of the site and the scoring system built around it than I do for the games themselves, Claude just "knows what to do".

Great to see persistence. I miss those good old SWF days, had a right amount of animation and programmable logic; until the vulnerabilities start to hit and SVG/HTML5 became mainstream.

Out of curiosity, in the name of science, are you also making the source (and/or steps taken) available for the folks to learn and understand the internals?
