Veteran Codes Browser Tank Game 'Vibe Tanks' Zero-Code Using Claude

TeaSipper007 · reddit · 2026-07-06

A disabled veteran with no coding background used the web version of Claude through 250 iterations to polish a 17KB prototype into a deployable browser tank game, "Vibe Tanks" (a single 130KB HTML file). Acting strictly as a designer and tester without writing any code, he had Claude implement 60Hz deterministic simulation, procedural graphics, dynamic synth music, human-like AI opponents, PWA installation, and a Cloudflare Worker feedback backend. He emphasized maintaining byte-level rollbacks, noting that Claude introduced silent bugs multiple times, including an audio self-recursion compressor that tanked performance for days.
