Diamond Power Up by team-coders ⌘ CO·DERS

Project Description

I built this one with my 7 years old son, following his prompts. It was greatly satisfying seeing him play a game he created. Try it: collect the squares until you reach size 200 and avoid the stars. The diamond is a power up, but it will flip squares and diamonds.

Initial Prompt

Create and run an HTML page that includes the p5.js script. Build a p5.js app that shows one circle moving around the screen together with many little squares. The circle can "eat" the squares and becomes bigger when it does. After 5 square eaten, 10 more would spawn.

Lessons Learned

What worked: A simple, generic prompt generates a playable game with reasonable parameters and difficulty. I also like the graphic style, especially the pulsating red circle, which feels powerful!
What needed help: I can't get an entire project, even as simple as this, in Claude free version. I just ran out of tokens or context window.

Octopus Maze

A new modern interpretation of a classic maze game. In this version, you can ingest pills but also spit them out. Break walls and freeze the monsters. Find your way to the red room where the little children are trapped: save them by guiding them out of the maze! I'm very proud of the sounds effects I have found, that gives a dark atmosphere to the game. The end game jingle was instead AI generated by ElevenLabs.

Comets in multicolor

Intended for beautiful visuals more than for the accuracy of the simulation, this project combines lights and gravity to depict comets traveling through a vibrant solar system.

Pop To Survive

Press SPACE to shoot! Built for the "Crazy Fast Game" vibe coding challenge, it is a game for survival. How it works: every time the target goes over a balloon and you don't shoot it, you lose a point. The game simply counts how many seconds you "survive" before losing 10 points. My personal record? 17 seconds! Haha.
