The parts

1. 1 Part 1. Oct 27, 2026 What is a game engine? The game loop, explained Every game runs the same small loop about 60 times a second. An engine runs it for you. Here is what that loop does, what an engine gives you, and what you still write.
2. 2 Part 2. Oct 27, 2026 Choose your tools: an engine and an AI agent Four quick decisions before your first game: browser or engine, which engine, what it costs, and which AI agent. It ends with a clear pick for beginners.
3. 3 Part 3. Oct 27, 2026 Your first game: a platformer with a double jump and coins, in three prompts We asked Claude Code for a browser platformer, then a double jump, then coins to collect. It tested every change in a hidden browser. Play the result.
