Show HN: Xmas – a 2d game developed by LLM

1 points by fullstackwife 8 hours ago

I was working on this game during evenings for the last 4 weeks. It costed around 38M tokens in, and 1M tokens out (~40$), using Claude mostly (sometimes I use Gemini or GPT4o). It produced more than 10K LOC in 65 files, and refactored the code multiple times, so I can't imagine typing all that code myself. There is no chance to find energy for that after a day job, family, other things. OTOH such LLM powered development is more like laid back activity, at the same time relaxing and rewarding.
