The full story
A nurse who can't write code has been building a game with Claude since the Sonnet 3.5 days. The idea was something similar to Foxhole, Project Zomboid and Banished. At first Sonnet could barely get circles moving on screen as a basic multiplayer test.
As Claude improved, and as the nurse learned its strengths and weaknesses, the project grew into a working multiplayer browser game of about 130,000 lines of code.
