The poster says they built Hexwardia in two weeks as a fully in-browser 4X game, using Grok as the main builder and repository and Gemini as a second-pass logic auditor. They had the models write systems like combat, fog of war, map generation, and heuristic AI, then constrained fixes to diff-only surgical patches so the models changed only specific routines instead of rewriting whole files.
The game was live in alpha v0.04.x, loaded in under a second, and the poster said matches were aimed at 15–30 minutes. In comments, an outside player reported a complete gameplay loop, real challenge from the AI, and no bugs, while also criticizing city depth, unit-role clarity, and map/world believability.
Their main practical tip was enforcing no-rewrite, edit-only patches, which they say cut token burn by more than 60%; they also mention paying for $30 SuperGrok and $20 Gemini plans.
Help me build a browser-based [game genre] game called [game name] in [HTML/JS or framework]. Start with [first system, e.g. map generation, combat engine, or fog of war], write it in small testable pieces, and run it so I can try it. Stop when I can open it in a browser and play a basic round, then list what to build next.
Claude Code got an old DirectX game running on modern hardware, decompiled much of it, built a headless parallel runner, and now writes full level guides with screenshots.
Make pulls contracts from Gmail, Gemini extracts the term and notice period, and a Sheets register emails the owner 60, 30 and 7 days before each deadline.
