The full story

Anyone can prompt "make a flappy bird game". Bassim Eledath tackled a harder problem: producing hundreds of unique, consistently styled, working games fully autonomously. His game factory runs Claude Code on a $24-a-month VPS to design, build, test and publish games without human help. The post explains the pipeline.

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.
