Claude Code Recreates Controversial Goal in 3D
MOZARTIN0 · reddit · 2026-07-15
Using Claude Code, the author built an interactive 3D simulator for a controversial Norway-England World Cup goal, letting users kick the ball and judge the outcome themselves.
- The project is a single-file HTML requiring no build steps. Three.js and crowd sound effects are packed as inline base64, allowing it to run offline.
- The physics engine features realistic projectile motion and drag simulation. Notably, when the ball's speed drops below 12 m/s, drag steeply increases, causing a near-vertical drop to simulate the exact point of historical controversy.
- The voting system is implemented with Netlify Functions + Blobs, featuring atomic counting, IP-based rate limiting, and deduplication cookies. It has gathered around 1100 votes.
- The author's takeaway: consolidating features into a single file makes Claude's modifications more stable, but at the cost of file bloat (up to 4MB) and a heavily burdened git history.
