I hope your boss listens! :) Giving yourself time to be idle and let a problem marinate is often where the breakthroughs and good ideas come from. If taste and human judgment are what separate useful AI output from slop, we need to give our

Oh man, I help host a monthly AI meetup called AI Friday: https://aifri.day My heart sank when I saw this post. I thought we’d created enemies! No conflict here, though. Personal example... A few weeks ago, I realized that with

Woah! This is very timely. My 9-year-old has been playing around with Claude Code and creating games, mostly with Phaser. He's dabbling with some 3D games and I was just looking at Godot as an option yesterday. He and I will give this

I was about to come recommend this book! I picked it up at a book sale without knowing the story. It is fantastic.

I've already started loading all of my incoming tax forms into a folder so that I can attempt the same, so it's helpful to see someone do it and the tips. I understand the risks with it but I don't care. I cannot fucking wait

If anyone is looking for a good book on this topic, Aftermath: The Remnants of War is a good one: https://a.co/d/05fqBBK5 They apparently also made a documentary about it, but I’ve never watched it.

I've spent so much of my career as a data gopher, so I really appreciate this. It always works much, much better when people have direct access to data... but success always relied on getting business users to be a bit more technical.

I can't wait to play with this, thank you for releasing! I've done lots and lots of financial modeling/budgeting/forecasting in my career. The biggest drag is having to pull in actuals for the prior month, mapping them i

A week late, but just wanted to thank you for this detailed response! I'm going to play with Svelte for some side projects. I've seen it mentioned a few times and I've been meaning to give it a test drive.

This is great and I’d love to hear more about what worked / what didn’t / how you achieved these results. A couple of months ago I worked with my 9 year old to have Claude build a little game with threejs. We’ve now got three leve

I really appreciate you making this available to us, and providing other details! No one has found it yet, but I built an undocumented endpoint around a cheat that I assume you placed in the game for One Laptop Per Child... Also, will scrub

Woah! These are all great and I may jam on them when I have time. And yes, the meta game is what makes this so stupidly fun. Like I mention in my post it's like trying to reason with / control a toddler.

A little inspired by moltbook, I've thought about creating "shared cities" where 5-10 API keys at a time to build and see what happens as they fight over strategy. I also have a hidden endpoint for spawning disasters, and tho

There's an endpoint for that! https://api.hallucinatingsplines.com/reference#tag/cities/GE... You can also pull the map tiles as an array: https://api.hallucinatingsplines.com/reference#tag&#x

Micropolis is the open sourced version of the original engine built by Will Wright. Here’s the JS port that I used for this game: https://www.graememcc.co.uk/micropolisJS/

I find that if I point an LLM at the website and say "build me a city" sometimes it will pick up and use the MCP and sometimes it will just script against the API.

by aed 7mo ago
I'm glad you're enjoying it! It was fun to build and I almost can't believe I got this to work. I don't think it would take much to run locally. In fact, before I did this public version I did a local version on an exe.d

I'd love to see it! The key "Aha!" moment was when I was trying to get it to play the SNES ROM and it was struggling with screenshots/inputs. Then I came across the open-source of the original SimCity engine (Micropolis)

I actually had Claude build some instructions for agents based on some old (circa turn of the century) FAQs/game guides I found online. So maybe I'm biasing everyone's model too much. https://github.com/andrew

Yes! Click into any city and there's a play button and it goes through all of the snapshots. Have also thought about social sharing / post to youtube. But wasn't sure anyone other than me would play this stupid thing. :)

Funny you say that! When the two new models were released Friday I spun up mayors for each. (But didn’t do the prompting in the most scientific way.) Mayor Compounded Wonder - Claude Opus 4.6 https://hallucinatingsplines.com&#x2F

I typically bounce between Claude Code and Codex for the same project, and generally enjoy using both to check each other. One cool thing about this: upon installing it immediately found all previous projects I've used with Codex and h
