The magic moment was watching my kids use voice dictation to talk directly to Claude Code. My 8-year-old asked for a "purpler" tractor beam and watched it change in real time. She wasn’t coding, but she _was_ driving: describing what she wanted, testing the result, and iterating fast. It was really cool to watch... later on she asked me what javascript was and we dug into the source.
Since then we've added a UFO Shopping Mall between waves (spend UFO bucks on power-ups), bombs, laser turrets, a dodge roll called "warp juke," and a top 100 leaderboard. There's also in-game feedback where you can submit and upvote feature requests. Building all these little features has been a great excuse to put in reps with AI coding tools and try out new stuff like Gastown.
You'll need a desktop and keyboard to play. Try to beat my high score! Would love feedback on what to add or what's broken... we'll ship the best suggestions. Thanks and have fun!
