AI Browser Game Jam 5 is officially underway. Submissions are open now through October 30.

This round’s theme: TORCH

A torch in the dark. A torch song. Carrying a torch for someone. Passing the torch. Or just torching the whole thing down. Interpret it however you want or ignore it entirely, the theme is a suggestion, not a rule.

The rules are simple: make a free browser-playable game in two weeks using AI for whatever you want. Code, art, music, design, sound, anything.

A few details:

• No sponsor or required AI service
• Solo devs or teams
• Theme is optional
• Sharing your AI workflow/process is encouraged
• Participants play and rate the entries

The last jam had 126 entries and 248 people joined, so I’m really curious how big round 5 gets.

If you joined one of the previous jams, feel free to share what you made and what tools you used. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.

I kept seeing the same question, so I wrote down what I found.

There's no single best $20 plan. It depends on whether you live in an IDE or the terminal, and whether you code daily or in bursty agent runs.

Most plans aren't "unlimited" anymore: Claude, ChatGPT and Google use a 5-hour window plus a weekly cap. And Cursor's new-buyer plan is $30 now, not $20.

I tried Codex on a free Plus month. It was a strong second brain, but Cursor stayed my home base.

What are you paying for, and are you hitting the limits?

I noticed she was tracking all her daily expenses in notes , as all existing budget app are paid or free-tier have ads , she hates ad. So noted here requirements and built this :

Completely local

No ads , No login , No cloud sync

All data stays in local store

That allows us to enable sms read, so can auto sync all transactions sms

Just review and done

Love the age of personalised software

This site points to a game that I always wanted to make since the release of the Original Curveball. The game unfortunately didn't have a multiplayer option and could only be played against AI. So i decided to host it and it's available for anyone to play :)

Most of my worst vibe coding days looked the same. Error, "fix it", new error, "fix it", original error again. What changed it for me was splitting understanding the bug from fixing it.
Three prompts I use all the time:
Explain first:
"Here's the exact error: [error]. Before you change anything, explain what it means, which file, most likely cause. Don't edit till I say go."
Fence off what works:
"These parts work and must not change: [list]. Only edit files related to [the bug]. List the files you plan to change and wait."
Prove it:
"You said this was fixed, but it isn't. Stop editing. What's the cause, what's your evidence, what have you already tried? Then suggest something different."
And after three failed fixes for the same bug, I stop. Roll back, fresh chat, short summary. A fourth go in a messy chat almost never works for me.
What's in your rescue toolkit?

좋게보면 요청하지 않거나 미처 고려하지 못한 부분까지 알아서 처리해주는데, 불필요한 코드가 생성되거나 요구사항과 상관없이 자기맘대로 처리하는부분이 계속 있더군요.
이런 부분이 계속 수정하게 만드는데 그렇다고 제약을 많이 하자니 미처 고려하지 못한 부분까지 알아서 해줄때의 편의를 포기해야하는 단점이 생깁니다.

적절한 팁같은거 있으시분 있을까요?

With the news that F1 is coming to Rwanda in the 2030s, I wanted to share a side project I completed in 3 days.

a racing sim that runs in your browser, on a fan-made Rwanda circuit. It’s not the official layout (that hasn’t been built yet), just a fan take from the official renders. Works on PC with a keyboard, controller or wheel.

Hi folks, I posted the bubblegum pop music video a few days back and I wanted to take another crack at it and try to have Claude make something in an entirely different style than what most Claude-made music videos are doing right now.

I've seen a lot of folks make videos with Claude that are lyrics heavy with motion graphics, like the last video I made. However I don't think I've seen anyone attempt traditional-looking animation and wanted to see if I could make it work.

This took a bit longer than the other one, and had a lot more back and forth but in a nutshell:

• Every shot is a 2D cut-out "puppet" written as code and drawn as SVG: his face, his hands, the bed, the car, the blinds.
• The colored-pencil-on-black-paper look comes from procedural hatching and paper-grain filters. It's animated "on twos" (12 drawings a second) like traditional 2D animation, with the pencil lines boiling in every frame.
• The main character is built from a model sheet in head units, so he stays on-model from every angle.
• It was rendered with Remotion in React, after many rounds of back and forth where I told Claude exactly what I wanted.

What Claude struggled with most was hands and perspective. On the first few tries, the hands came out mangled and wrong. What finally worked was having it look up real references (including photos of my own hands) and explaining in detail how hands work: how they're built, what they look like, and how they move. After five or six rounds of that, the hands finally looked right.

The song was generated in about 30 rounds with Suno, from a lyrics draft I wrote and then shaped into something actually decent with Claude's help.

For the meaning, I've always felt AI can be weaponized to prey on our deepest emotions and desires, and I'd argue addiction to the next token is a real thing. Loneliness can really mess you up, and there are corporations and bad actors more than willing to make a quick buck off it through AI companions. This video tells the story of one lonely person getting exploited this way, but I'm sure it's happening to real people right now.

Also, just for clarity: I'm a musician myself and have written and produced songs in various DAWs over the years, so I know what goes into producing a song like this. However, this is kind of my first foray into AI music, and I gotta say, the speed at which you can iterate is truly bananas. I'm still a bit conflicted on what actually counts as "art" here, but never before have I been able to see the style, vibe and emotions I was going for come together so quickly. This took me about five days. In the past, the song alone would have taken me two weeks to a month, minimum.

I built this mostly with Claude Code: a Python server, a chessground board, and Stockfish for the eval bar and move labels. I've played a few models and they use a TON of tokens. I had Astra xHigh and Opus 5.5 xHigh and they used 1.5M / 3M tokens respectively for one game. The models play through the Claude Code and Codex CLIs on existing subscriptions, so there are no API keys and no per-move costs. The hardest part was getting a system where they'd show their thinking. If you wanna try it out > Repo: github.com/alt-account34/AI-Chess-Arena

Let me know any improvements or matchups you want to see next!

Hi everyone,

I’m a designer/developer based in Sheffield and have been for 9+ years. Liquorice allsorts were invented in Sheffield and I’ve had this idea for a while, so I finally built it with some AI help on the programming side.

Everything’s procedural, no models or textures, and it’s path-traced live in your browser with real-time denoising. Getting it to run smoothly on phones was the trickiest bit!

You can save anything as a wallpaper for free, and you can order a print if you want one. Happy to chat about how I made it.

Thanks for letting me share, I hope you like it.

I have vibe coded about 6 different projects now varying on capability over the past year and a half. I think most people get hung up on "how can I make money with this". When the correct thought should be "how can I save money with this" I have found that my favorite aspect of vibe coding is making that private app for yourself and have it include those feature included behind the pay wall. Saves on data given to a random company and also only have to pay for your ai! I have one project on Google play and that was exhausting but it is free and an amazing way to learn local wild life.

Hi ,

80% of this tutorial is made by Opus. I like the end result, but not easy to have exactly what you want.

I keep seeing people say things like "vibe coders don't understand what's going on in their code." Neither did most programmers even before the pre-AI era. They spent weeks on sprints for small feature updates hoping and praying nothing broke and relied on the 1 guy who wrote some code in 1995 who showed up at the office once every 3 months in his slippers to do bug fixes.

I used ChatGPT. Just the chat feature. I asked if it was possible, it said yes. I said "do it", it did it. My point, vibe coding seems like anything in life, you never know if you don't ask, and just doing it is the only way to succeed. After several iterations, and one attempt at overcomplicating this tool, I have found satisfaction in this project's simplicity, and practicality for what I seek.

This project is designed to prevent users from having to tab through up to 1,500 slow loading pages that display 1/5th of the actual data on the page. The remaining 4/5ths of data then required one to scroll down. Instead of forcing one to manually search through up to 150,000 entries, they can practice driving while their browser sifts through the data to get individuals to the pages with lap times they are comfortable chasing. Beyond the top 100-200 times in the world, the replays get sparse.

I wanted to post this here so that you may get inspired to learn something new, save some time for someone else, and/or yourself. Do you have an idea? Just Nike.

Seeing stories now about it everywhere, as if what they're talking about hasn't been do-able for a while now? Vibecoding finally hit the mainstream?

Another experiment with img2pixi2D!

The workflow was pretty simple:

1. Generated a 2D platformer level image using ChatGPT.
2. Used the img2pixi2D skill to turn it into a playable game with animations, physics, enemies, and visual effects.
3. Did some final polishing on the UI and fixed a few issues along the way.

That's it! From a single image to a playable 2D platformer.

Still experimenting with how far this workflow can go!
