BUILD A GAME
this afternoon. No experience needed.

A 93-lesson curriculum that takes you from a blank canvas to 3D worlds, with Claude as your coding partner. Every lesson ends in something you can play.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps to building your own games with AI.

01

Choose a Lesson

Each lesson starts with a playable game. See what you will build before you write a single line of code.

02

Build with Claude

Follow guided tutorials that teach you to prompt Claude effectively. Learn real game development concepts along the way.

03

Play Your Game

Every lesson produces a working game. Play it, share it, then explore the "Go Deeper" prompts to make it your own.

WHY WE TEACH WITH CLAUDE

Our recommendation, and the reasoning behind it.

We have shipped production work with Google Gemini, Perplexity, Black Forest Labs, and local open-source models through Ollama. We teach with Claude because it is the one we reach for when the work has to hold up, and because Anthropic's approach to safety and deployment is the one we want beginners forming their first habits inside.

That is a recommendation, not a requirement. The concepts in every lesson -- game loops, collision, state, cameras -- are the same whichever assistant you use, and the prompt craft transfers. If you prefer a different model, the curriculum still works.

What we are really teaching is direction: knowing what to ask for, how to check the answer, and what to do when it comes back wrong. That skill outlasts any particular model.
