A Reddit user shared how he and his 8-year-old daughter built a text adventure game in a single evening using Claude, co-describing the world, characters, and rules. When she asked for "a dragon that is actually shy," it worked seconds later.
The game is janky and the save system barely works, but she has played it every night for a week and now asks to add new rooms herself. The real payoff, he says, was her realizing software is something you can make, not just consume.
