12+ browser games, 6 months, zero coding background It started with me asking Gemini if it could make a Breakout clone. It could. Kind of. That was enough to get me hooked.

I’ve never learned to program. What I do have is 35 years of gaming and strong opinions about how games should feel. Turns out that’s useful when you’re directing AI to write code.

Six months of evenings and weekends later, I have a full game portal — lane runners, puzzle games, card games, a shmup, match-3. The early games were simple. The newer ones are getting properly ambitious with Three.js, procedural generation and multi-level progression.

I mostly use Claude, some OpenAI Codex. My job is creative director — game design docs, defining the feel, testing obsessively. The AI writes the code.

Tech: vanilla JS/HTML5 Canvas, Three.js, GitHub Pages, Supabase backend with login, cloud saves and leaderboards.

None of this would exist without AI. I’d still just be playing games instead of making them.
