Woah! This is very timely. My 9-year-old has been playing around with Claude Code and creating games, mostly with Phaser. He's dabbling with some 3D games and I was just looking at…

I was about to come recommend this book! I picked it up at a book sale without knowing the story. It is fantastic.

> If you're asking for a ZIP code, use inputmode="numeric" Does this work for zips? Some zips have a leading 0.

I've already started loading all of my incoming tax forms into a folder so that I can attempt the same, so it's helpful to see someone do it and the tips. I understand the risks wi…

If anyone is looking for a good book on this topic, Aftermath: The Remnants of War is a good one: https://a.co/d/05fqBBK5 They apparently also made a documentary about it, but I’ve…

I've spent so much of my career as a data gopher, so I really appreciate this. It always works much, much better when people have direct access to data... but success always relied…

I can't wait to play with this, thank you for releasing! I've done lots and lots of financial modeling/budgeting/forecasting in my career. The biggest drag is having to pull in act…

A week late, but just wanted to thank you for this detailed response! I'm going to play with Svelte for some side projects. I've seen it mentioned a few times and I've been meaning…

I'm a 15+ year user of 1password and have been telling myself to move off of it for like 5 years now. It ain't the price... $72 is really fine for good software that just works. Bu…

This is great and I’d love to hear more about what worked / what didn’t / how you achieved these results. A couple of months ago I worked with my 9 year old to have Claude build a …

I really appreciate you making this available to us, and providing other details! No one has found it yet, but I built an undocumented endpoint around a cheat that I assume you pla…

Woah! These are all great and I may jam on them when I have time. And yes, the meta game is what makes this so stupidly fun. Like I mention in my post it's like trying to reason wi…

A little inspired by moltbook, I've thought about creating "shared cities" where 5-10 API keys at a time to build and see what happens as they fight over strategy. I also have a hi…

There's an endpoint for that! https://api.hallucinatingsplines.com/reference#tag/cities/GE... You can also pull the map tiles as an array: https://api.hallucinatingsplines.com/refe…

Micropolis is the open sourced version of the original engine built by Will Wright. Here’s the JS port that I used for this game: https://www.graememcc.co.uk/micropolisJS/

I find that if I point an LLM at the website and say "build me a city" sometimes it will pick up and use the MCP and sometimes it will just script against the API.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! It was fun to build and I almost can't believe I got this to work. I don't think it would take much to run locally. In fact, before I did this public v…

https://hallucinatingsplines.com/mayors/bungeling-anthill-a2... So while using LLMs is the natural/fun thing to do with it, I actually have one mayor just using parameterized code …

I'd love to see it! The key "Aha!" moment was when I was trying to get it to play the SNES ROM and it was struggling with screenshots/inputs. Then I came across the open-source of …

I actually had Claude build some instructions for agents based on some old (circa turn of the century) FAQs/game guides I found online. So maybe I'm biasing everyone's model too mu…

Yes! Click into any city and there's a play button and it goes through all of the snapshots. Have also thought about social sharing / post to youtube. But wasn't sure anyone other …

Funny you say that! When the two new models were released Friday I spun up mayors for each. (But didn’t do the prompting in the most scientific way.) Mayor Compounded Wonder - Clau…

Same! It was too good to pass up.
