Show HN: Purely Vibe Coded Asmongold Simulator

spirodonfl — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 02:51:58 +0000

I hate AI (as it currently is and currently is used) and I've avoided doing a purely vibe coded project for a long time. Any time I even attempted to vibe code for a few minutes, I immediately felt disgust.

For research purposes, I gave this a proper go and created an Asmongold Simulator game.

My opinion hasn't changed on "vibe coding"

vanilla css 3d, js, html programmer card game

no 3rd party libraries

no AI, everything is done by hand (so it looks stupid cause I'm not a graphics designer by any stretch of the imagination)

I've been programming for almost 25 years now. My skills range from websites to desktop applications to native mobile apps and more.

I created https://github.com/spirodonfl/htmx-offline-mode.

You can look at over a years worth of content where I build a video game in Zig, Odin and now C, compiled to WASM, running on the browser with no hardware acceleration, no canvas, no webgpu, no webgl, vanilla HTML, vanilla CSS (and css3d, btw), vanilla JS, all div elements, just to show it's possible. https://www.youtube.com/@SpiroFloropoulos

Team engagement, mentoring, hiring, devrel, content creation are all additional skills to programming. Building fast, robust, websites and applications is my bread and butter.
