A 24/7 pixel-art TV channel for an invented sport, built entirely by Claude Code
spite_as_an_arrow · reddit · 2026-11-09
Scorchball TV is an always-on pixel-art channel for an invented sport: 8 clubs, a season per week, a live match every 2h 40m, plus replays, studio shows, post-match interviews, fake sponsor ads and an evening podcast — and the league remembers drafts, contracts, retirements and records.
Key engineering: no game server — every browser deterministically rebuilds the same league from a snapshot and a daily seed key; all voice is pre-generated ElevenLabs (11,000 clips); all sound synthesized. The author directed while Claude Code wrote every line, using a vision doc → per-part design docs, A/B/C mock-up pages built with real code and data, and keeping all timing/rules/commentary in data files so changes are numbers, not code. MIT-licensed on GitHub with docs included.
