How Tanks AI was made with AI
On 28 February 2025 the creator posted that he 'basically one-shot a fully functional game with Claude 3.7'. He downloaded some art from itch.io, asked Claude to use it, and said 'it even got the mobile version working from the 1st prompt'. He credited Pieter Levels' flight sim for kicking off the wave of AI-made games.
