An Elite-style browser game that Claude builds from GitHub issues

An "Open Vibe Code" experiment where Claude and other models build a playable Elite-like space game, steered by issues users open rather than pull requests.

The full story

Harmless is what its maker calls an "Open Vibe Code" project: Claude and other models are building it, no pull requests are accepted, and instead people open GitHub issues that Claude is periodically pointed at to see what it does. The game is already playable with quite a few features, and is keyboard-heavy like classic Elite, so anyone who played that when younger should find it familiar.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count).
