Build a 2D platformer game without coding
A content creator with no coding experience used Claude Code to build a black-and-white wave-combat platformer in HTML canvas and played it live.
What they did
A content creator with no coding experience used Claude Code (Opus 4) to generate a game called 'Seek' in HTML/JavaScript canvas. It has a silhouette hero with an oversized sword, wave-based combat, four enemy types (grunts, archers, brutes, flyers), and an ending tied to player choices. The creator then played the result live.
How it went
The game closely matched the creator's original vision. They reached wave 10, where they met a boss that seemed unbeatable. They endorsed Claude Code and teased a future comparison with Codex.
