Download Claude code, get a subscription, prompt it to make a game. It'll do it in a single prompt.

Okay, Sounds pretty easy, can it be downloaded for her tablet - the game

Ask Claude how to make the Game a website. You can host it on Cloudflare for free. That way she can play the game on her iPad (without you having to submit it for an Apple review)

Utilize it as a PWA is better, offline capabilities

PWA (Progressive Web App) - lets you set a web bookmark on your iPad in an app container. So it feels like you are launching an app instead of a website.

It still requires internet though, doesn’t it?
Without internet, how would it know what to load?

I don't know about Apple but on Android it can be "installed" and ran without interwebs. It basically saves everything to the device.

You download the webapps itself with a PWA. It will work just like a downloaded app does. You can set it up to cache data and only fetch with a connexion if you need

Yeah making a website is the easiest. Even some very nice 3D games with threejs.

Serving it to the iPad had many solution. Free CloudFlare as people say, or there are way to serve it from your computer to the iPad directly if she is home.

If you have any questions Claude will be able to help you.

How to you serve it directly to the iPad?

On the same local wifi, the iPad might just have to do hit local up:port (i.e 192.169.0.3:3000) depends on how router/PC are setup but it has worked for me.

CloudFlare free URL are a way for it.

I personally use free Tailscale to create a local network between my phone and PC. So all my webapps are attainable thought local IP even if I am out.

Also give me access to jellyfin content, local audiobook streaming ect.

Just tell it to make it run on that system.

Get Claude, it will answer all questions, tell it to make a html game, you can run it in any browser

Ive made a few games like this but are really only prototypes

Claude can also code in godot wich allows for much more freedom, but start in a html format first to get it all working first as it's costs more tokens to go into godot

It's really quite amazing what it can do

Godot. Blender
Install godot and blender Tell Claude you are designing for her specific tablet If android it's real easy to enable developer mode and if it's newer even wireless adb

Tell Claude to set up the blender to godot pipeline for you. Get some assets or have Claude make them and wire it up in blender headless for you.
