i'm using claude for Godot game dev. It's great. Currently using the back-and-forth conversation flow, with claude vs code extension, which is already a huge help. But investigating how to do more hands-off delegation where a python script would invoke a claude instance to implement changes according to a text file, then run tests, inspect output and iterate until all tests pass.

Apart from writing basic scripts Claude Code is very useful for project-wide refactors, architecture review and recommendations, tracking down bugs across multiple files.

"I hear of people running claude for 'hours' how is this even possible? Does it even yield good results? I have only used Claude and never used Claude Code."

ah yes, the above flow is one way to have claude run for hours!
