A developer built NotchBasket, a Mac desktop basketball game, using Claude while watching AI agents code.
The app is 1MB, requires no permissions or network, and is free and open-source. Players flick the ball into the hoop at the notch area slingshot-style, featuring a 24-second shot clock mode and free play mode. The author shared a fun anecdote about AI coding: to get realistic net physics, he argued with Claude for days until the AI finally rewrote it as a cloth simulation.
