Vibe-coding video games with Claude (Day 75: Corner the Market)
The article describes a day-75 project in which the author uses Claude (an AI assistant) to "vibe-code" a video game called "Corner the Market," likely exploring the process of building a game through conversational AI interaction rather than traditional coding methods.
Background
- "Vibe-coding" is a term for using AI assistants (like Anthropic's Claude) to write code through natural language prompts rather than traditional programming — the human describes what they want, and the AI generates the code.
- This is part of a serial project where someone is building a video game over 100 days, using Claude as their coding partner.
- "Day 75: Corner the Market" is one diary entry in that series, documenting progress on a specific game mechanic (cornering the market likely refers to a trading or monopoly-style feature).
- Claude is the large language model created by Anthropic, known for its strong coding abilities.
- The project demonstrates how non-professional programmers or solo developers can create functional games by iteratively prompting an AI to write, debug, and expand code.
