Ethan Mollick has open-sourced Brush & Blade, a pixel-art fighting game generated by AI in a single shot, playable directly in the browser.
- Features 8 original knights whose art is generated in the styles of Klimt, Hokusai, Van Gogh, Mondrian, Rothko, Georgia O'Keeffe, Matisse, and Kandinsky
- Includes AI opponents, local two-player duels, an AI-vs-AI watch mode, a gallery run through all seven other knights, and three difficulty levels
- Released under MIT license on GitHub; the author admits it has the rough edges expected from a one-shot build but is fully playable
