How it's made

  • One conversationEvery project began as a plain-English request in a single chat with Claude Code, typed from a phone.
  • Self-testedThe agent played each game in a headless browser, read the errors and fixed what broke before I saw it.
  • One file eachNo build step and no server. Every page opens on its own, straight from GitHub Pages or from disk.
