The full story
This game was made for a game jam whose theme was face tracking. You steer a dragon with your head and face, and opening your mouth shoots fireballs. Claude 3.5 and 3.7 Sonnet wrote the code. Other parts came from the LK game engine, images from ChatGPT and music from Riffusion. It is not a full game, just one level and a boss, and the maker used it to try out scrolling backgrounds and different enemy behaviours.
The maker used 3.7 for planning and debugging and 3.5 for new features. They found that 3.7 with extended thinking fixed a hard maths problem that had stumped the other models.
