Claude wrote a bot to beat all 50 game levels just to test replays
banteg · x · 2026-09-26
- banteg shared a transcript where Claude, lacking real fixtures to test replay logic, autonomously wrote a bot and had it play all 50 levels and every game mode to generate test data.
- The bot isn't great — it survives only about 4 minutes — so Claude asked the user to contribute real gameplay fixtures.
- A striking example of coding-agent autonomy and proactive help-seeking: the model built its own tooling, ran large-scale tests, then requested more data.
