Great to see persistence. I miss those good old SWF days, had a right amount of animation and programmable logic; until the vulnerabilities start to hit and SVG/HTML5 became mainstream.
Out of curiosity, in the name of science, are you also making the source (and/or steps taken) available for the folks to learn and understand the internals?

Yes, in some of the games I post the prompt(s) used, especially the early games. I'm going to go back and see if I can add that info to all the games where it's missing. The only game where I felt I needed to explain the game itself was Backgammon, if you don't know how to play that game it's kind of confusing, but all the others have space for the "patch notes"
I'm also a software engineer, and a few days ago I decided I wanted to run a games website again. So I bought the domain gamevibe.us and with the help of Claude I've been vibe-coding one video game every day since.
Happy to answer questions, take feedback, etc
Other games made in the past week (sometimes with a single AI prompt, sometimes multiple):

All the games have scoring to inspire a little competition, but it's mostly just to "scratch that itch" of making games again, even if AI is doing all the work. The majority of games I don't give any details at all and the AI just fills in all the blanks. I've spent a lot more time prompting to do the overall architecture of the site and the scoring system built around it than I do for the games themselves, Claude just "knows what to do".
