Show HN: My 4 year old made a game
mychickengame.comBored playing the nth round of Uno, I thought it would be fun to write a game with my 4 year old daughter.
Using Claude Sonnet 3.7 as our "developer" and me acting as the "Product Manager" aka LLM translator, I tried to capture her instructions as verbatim as I could, only adding context to make the prompts work.
The result is a simple browser game which you can play. I added a writeup of all the prompts along the way so you can see how this was put together.
It was only after I realised where she drew her inspiration from.
If you have kids, it's definitely a fun exercise. My wife and I were blown away with how quickly we got something working, my daughter grew tired of it after about a minute.... I fear that this generation will never really appreciate how much effort this used to take.
(No analytics, no signup, etc) what i love is with my 30+ years of experience this game will probably make more money than I ever did. LOL Given the game is free that's a double ouch! toss an ad up there. How to play? Do I need keyboard? unfortunately yes :( (needs arrow keys) [edit] I added touch controls for you :) I put these in seperate includes. Oh nice! Thanks!
