Show HN: Daily vibe-coding video games, day 33: Tower Defense (single prompt) (gamevibe.us)

8 points by pzxc ↗ HN
I'm using AI (mostly Claude) to create/publish a new video game every day

This is day 33, first stab at the tower defense genre. Most of the games (including this one) I build with a single prompt. Rarely, a couple extra prompts are needed for bug fixes or to tweak the physics/UI. Extremely rarely, the AI has difficulty making the game work right (usually drawing it) and it takes a dozen or more prompts -- but the majority of the time, it gets everything right and makes a fully playable game first try

Happy to answer any questions, just a little hobby project of mine I'm having lots of fun with :)

The arrow towers don’t hit the targets.

I passed the first wave even though I did not kill most of the invaders. On the other hand, I couldn't dream of a single question to ask.

You should share more about the process. What does the prompt look like for this game for example? What language does Claude end up writing it in?

I was able to set up an undefeatable defense.

I stopped it after an hour or two but it would have just kept going afaict.
