The full story
Dorbaaz is a free 3D browser game set on the rooftops of an old Indian city in kite season. You fly a fighter kite (patang) from your terrace: it flies straight when you pull and spins when the string goes slack, so you steer by timing pulls and releases. Hook your string across a rival's to start a pench, and the faster-moving string cuts the other.
The maker built it with Claude Code, starting by explaining how real fighter kites behave. The pull-and-release steering took the most rounds, because early versions felt like flying a plane. The string-cutting logic came next, detecting crossings and deciding which string wins by speed.
Rival fliers, daily neighbourhoods, a master flier every fifth day, a kite bazaar for upgrades and touch controls followed. Progress is saved in the browser.
