<p>Spoilers in link.<p>After spending way too long trying to press a button that doesn't do anything (press button, depress button, push button, button, press the button) or trying to talk to the speaker (say open, talk to speaker, talk at speaker, shout at speaker) I got frustrated and used claude to give me a walkthrough based on the source code.<p>Turns out the correct command was "hi"<p>here's the walkthrough:

<p>walk around the wall and find the "speaker". Say hi. Never-mind the button doesn't do anything.</p>

<p>Bored playing the nth round of Uno, I thought it would be fun to write a game with my 4 year old daughter.<p>Using Claude Sonnet 3.7 as our "developer" and me acting as the "Product Manager" aka LLM translator, I tried to capture her instructions as verbatim as I could, only adding context to make the prompts work.<p>The result is a simple browser game which you can play.  I added a writeup of all the prompts along the way so you can see how this was put together.<p>It was only after I realised where she drew her inspiration from.<p>If you have kids, it's definitely a fun exercise.  My wife and I were blown away with how quickly we got something working, my daughter grew tired of it after about a minute.... I fear that this generation will never really appreciate how much effort this used to take.<p>(No analytics, no signup, etc)</p>
