A multiplayer game prototype, written in Rust, using Bevy + egui for graphics. Think of it as a bare bones implementation of a game like Runescape, mostly to test out current LLM capability.

I haven't found much value in LLMs for coding beyond very self contained tasks, but some people speak highly of it, and I want to be sure that I'm not missing out. So from time to time I give new tools a try. This time is "Claude Code on the web".

I've put in an estimated 50 hours so far. It has a client and an authoritative server. The client displays 3D graphics with some placeholder models. From the client, you can click on tiles and move to them, or click on enemies to pathfind and attack them. You can right-click on tiles or monsters to open a menu with options (attack, trade, move). There are some unit tests and a few integration tests.

Right now the issues that Claude has been unable to resolve after a few attempts are: * Attack animations. I'm trying to get it to raise and then lower a rectangular block to simulate a sword attack. It really doesn't get it, and it's harder to write tests for compared to movement and server-client networking. * "Entity interpolation". Rather walking entities instantly moving from tile to tile, movement should flow smoothly.

I have Claude Pro ($20/mo) which let me make a few commits per day. After a few days of that, Anthropic offered $250 in credits to promote "Claude Code on the web". The credits expire after two weeks. I'm now five days into that period and have gone through $50 in credits. It is heavily rate limited and frequently locks me out for multiple hours after only a few interactions, but it's free credits so I can't really complain.

I work on Harbor (https://github.com/av/harbor), it is a project to save hours when setting up LLMs locally.

I pre-integrated over 50 different LLM-related projects, added a nice CLI and a Desktop app on top to manage the configs.

I'm working on my own code review app powered by local or self hosted LLMs. It started as a way to lint my own code and took off from there. It's basically like greptile or co-pilot, but has some things that they don't:

I'm working on a survival game in the line of MC, Valheim and Vintage Story. Last months have been focused on developing the survival core mechanics on top of building and fighting. Im now entering in the final phase of wiring all the pieces together. Streaming the process daily on Twitch.

I'm working on a boardgame with the help of AI. It's way too easy to create placeholder art with an n8n pipeline, but GPT-5 regularly fails at writing and debugging LaTeX which I'm using for all of the card creation.

Specifically, TikZ is often outside the ability of GPT5 to successfully write or debug.

Very interested in this type of thing. I can't see anywhere where pricing is mentioned, even ranges would be a useful benchmark to know if it's something within budget.

Love the script hub, very cool idea.

Thanks! You can check out our pricing here: https://zecurit.com/pricing/

We’re also building a script repository so you can run scripts directly on agents from the Zecurit console.
