# Balloon camel simulator

Claude Code built a Go physics simulator with a web frontend that streams balloon-camel geometry, with Claude in Chrome looping on screenshots and camera control.

Result: A working balloon camel simulator with multi-balloon twists and model export, published as the CamelKoons repo, though the look ended up off-target.

## How it was set up

Claude Code with a Golang backend and web frontend, Claude in Chrome for screenshot loops, an HTTP camera endpoint, a comment box watched via monitoring, and a self-made look-at-camel skill.

## Worth knowing

The simulator is fixed to dromedary camel topology. The distorted result looked unlike Koons, so the author is switching to Fusion360 Forms.

## Evidence note

Public repo with skill file; author describes the build steps
