Terence's 30th

The event happened!

Check out what we made:

What are we doing?

Dreaming up game ideas together, throwing them at an AI to build, then playing each others' games.

No coding or AI experience is necessary at all!

The most important thing by far is to bring your inner, creative child.

Examples

As a proof-of-concept, here are two games that I "made" by feeding the design to Claude Code (and not writing a single line of code myself!)

• Egg delivery game Deliver an egg perfectly cooked while navigating the hot environment of a gas giant (based on the paper "Periodic cooking of eggs" in Nature).
• Gravity game Travel as far as you can without crashing into a planet.

Schedule

Morning

Dream up and design games. Can do this individually, in groups, or collaborate with different groups on multiple games.

~1 PM

Get takeout from a couple places.

After lunch

Eat and throw our plans at an AI to build them. If you're interested in setting this up on your own computer and learning how to use it, we can help! Otherwise, those of us who have it set up already will run the plans through.

End of day

Play each others' games and vote on favorites in different categories. Feel free to come just for this part!

After 4 PM

Continue building or just hang out until 6 PM. We'll also have board games.

What to bring

• Nothing necessary!
• Feel free to bring a notebook or laptop to write your plans down and sketch ideas.
