Indie platformer from scratch
A content creator had Claude Code (Opus 4) build a 2D black-and-white platformer called Seek in HTML and JavaScript canvas, with no prior coding experience.
Claude Code produced a playable wave-based game with four enemy types; the creator reached wave 10 on camera and said it matched their vision.
