I came across this post on Simon Willison’s blog, where he writes about a game he developed with the help of Claude Code. The game is entirely vibe-coded. It’s incredible how capable AI models have become at creating these kinds of games.

The game is really impressive, though not perfect. It makes me wonder whether it’s really worth investing time in learning game development when AI can already do it on its own.

Since a long time ago I’ve wanted to start developing a game, and now that my 7 years old kid asked for a game as his next birthday I think is a good time to start. I have no problem learning a new language like Python, C# or Rust, but as a web developer I wanted to start by using my main programming language, Javascript.

So, to start learning (and to get my hands dirty), I want to replicate the game made by Drew Conley Build a Multiplayer Game with JavaScript & Firebase.

More coming soon…
