The full story

A coding beginner built and released a mobile game on four app stores by directing AI coding agents, including Claude; they didn't write the code or the tests themselves. The write-up is candid about what broke: after watching a rewarded ad, the joystick froze and later all sound vanished, while all 1,450 automated tests still passed.

Prompt & Solder

An independent community project. Not affiliated with Anthropic.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.
