Reddit User Builds Free 3D Online Catan in Two Weeks With Claude Code, Open-Sources It
KurusuDesu · reddit · 2026-10-13
Frustrated by bad free Catan clones, a Reddit user built their own in two weeks with Claude Code: a 3D board, serverless peer-to-peer online play, three bot difficulty levels, up to 8 players, and a map editor — MIT licensed and free in the browser.
Highlights:
- Claude wrote most of the code; the author ideated, tested at game nights, and gave feedback
- Friends contributed an 'ADHD mode': a mini-game arcade that plays during others' turns and fades out when it's yours
- Every session ends with 300 bot-vs-bot games to validate rules
- 3D pieces exported from Blender via Python scripts; the trailer is a web page recorded frame by frame
