The full story
The poster loved Road Rash as a kid and wanted a harder test for Opus 5.5 than a CRUD app, since a game needs physics, AI, camera and sound to agree. Over a weekend they built a version in Three.js and TypeScript that runs in the browser, with three tracks, day and night, bike combat, traffic and cops that chase the player.
They say Claude handled the large codebase better than expected, but how the game felt was down to the poster because Claude could not see it running. Tuning the bikes took longest.
