Claude Code Max user spends about $600 in tokens building a game with Matt Shumer’s prompt

A user says they ran Matt Shumer’s prompt for three 5-hour Claude Code Max windows—about 6.5 hours of Opus 5 work in total.
They estimate the token spend at roughly $600 without the Claude subscription, and note that the only extra prompting was to save progress to memory near usage limits and resume on a fresh window. The result is impressive but still not finished, and the user says they may upgrade to the $200 plan to keep going.
