His kids designed a game mod. The AI wrote the code at night.

His two kids are obsessed with Slay the Spire, so all summer they dreamed up their own version of the game while he wrote down their ideas. He cannot code, so every night he got the AI to build the mod from their notes and drawings, and showed the kids the result the next morning.

How it works

  1. Kids called out ideas all summer and he wrote them into a spreadsheet
  2. The kids made the graphics, more than 50 crayon drawings
  3. Each night he asked the AI to code the changes
  4. The kids saw the new build the next morning and argued over what to change
