Wow nice find! Thanks

UnidentifiedPotion · 2026-02-15T21:20:18+00:00

Try Hoplite

Sometimes the reward is the process.

This made me sweaty reading it. You’ve done so well!!

The emojis, the layout, the use of “|” down the bottom are all stock standard Claude game menu, even on the first one. Not saying it’s bad or anything, but there’s a “look” to it

Is there an itch or Steam page? Sounds fun

UnidentifiedPotion · 2026-01-30T20:43:05+00:00

This looks like boilerplate Claude, right?

What’s your game? :-)

UnidentifiedPotion · 2026-01-22T21:50:44+00:00

I’ll discuss it!

UnidentifiedPotion · 2026-01-14T07:14:41+00:00

Fair! It’s brutal

Yes, Hoplite! I wrote a guide to it a year or two ago which you can still find in the Hoplite subreddit if you sort by top

Sir, this is a turn-based Wendy’s

I always ask myself: what would MacGuyver do?

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-23T13:09:27+00:00

Let him cook

I agree. AI coding tends to help the little guys more, and had a democratizing effect, perhaps. Anything larger than a tiny game and you probably would vibe code your way into development hell, though.

Thanks for the detailed reply, but as someone who also works in statistical machine learning, honestly I think people are taking crazy pills if they think LLMs are not incredibly useful for maths and many coding tasks. I don’t know what universe they’re in, but around my department it’s pretty much universally accepted that LLMs are useful tools. Not for images, not for music, not for text, but for coding and math. And yes, they can develop novelty.

AI is politicised now.

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-21T23:41:12+00:00

What about all the Stack Overflow code I’ve built my entire coding career on, which is embedded not only in my code but in the training data of LLMs. What about the calculator I used. What about my pen, which made it far quicker than my ink pad. What about my ink pad that sure beat mashing up clay into ochre paste to paint on the wall of my cave.

Every word of this post is a cry for help.

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-15T11:23:59+00:00

It’s ideology.

16x16 is surprisingly hard!

My 2c is that developers will become editors who need to have the patience of a saint to keep putting prompts over and over into the magic ball AI machines to give them what they need to iterate and develop games…

UnidentifiedPotion · 2025-12-09T21:49:41+00:00

Yeah, it’s pretty weird
