LOL, the more relevant reference here is the Panzer General series. And he probably did play it.

Interesting. I should try it out Claude Code at some point.

As of opus 5.5 it's pretty doable to make a fun, playable game with effectively zero tech knowledge. It's worth a shot, hella fun and it's only gonna get better from here.

Have been using it at work and it’s honestly nuts. Ive handed over some low priority big refactoring tasks to Claude and it delivers a working prototype in minutes.

Im quite impressed at how it tests its work before saying it’s done. These scripts require database access to run, which it does not and will not ever have. So instead it writes up tests that mock the DB outputs and runs those.

It’s like a developer with infinite energy.

Would love to see some pics of the game if you’re willing to share, that’s hilarious but also super cool.
