You don't actually need the Godot editor to make a Godot game. And that makes it the great engine for CLI-based AI coding agents. I wrote about my experience building a game purely from the terminal with an AI agent. #GodotEngine dev.to/abagames/god...
In the AI era, starting is cheap.
Finishing is scarce.
So maybe the real skill is restraint.

Why is game programming so hard for AI agents? I looked into recent benchmarks, and the gap between "syntactically correct code" and "actual game feel" is huge. If you've found a good workflow to get AI to write solid game code, please share your secrets. #ai #gamedev dev.to/abagames/is-...
Just realized I've made over 500 games. From typing Z80 assembly in the 80s to generating JS with AI agents today, the tech stack keeps changing, but the fun of figuring it out remains the same. Wrote a short essay on why I still love game programming. #gamedev #programming

I've just released the playable showcase for algo-chip, a high-quality automatic chiptune BGM composition engine available as an npm library. The demo lets you audition motifs, and regenerate loops. abagames.itch.io/algo-chip
Tired of your AI coding assistant giving you confidently wrong answers? I built a simple slash command, /criticalthink, to make it doubt itself and check for risks, biases, and logical flaws. Stop blindly trusting and start thinking critically. dev.to/abagames/mak...
I've created a custom slash command "criticalthink" to encourage critical thinking, as a play on "ultrathink". I find it quite useful, but this function itself requires critical thinking. github.com/abagames/sla...
Ever dreamed of a game that plays itself? I explored this idea by building a system where an AI creates, plays, and completes an entire RPG campaign on its own. Humans can then watch the story unfold. dev.to/abagames/ai-...
Another web game you shouldn't miss: 1x111 by @abagames.bsky.social
A collection of inventive and delightful tiny games. Think UFO-50 mixed with Wario Ware. Full of surprises, and actually pretty addictive. #gaming #videogame

one of the classic japanese game hobbiests, Kenta Cho recently tied together 111 of his single-button games into an old-school wario-ware you can play on your phone (he's been making tiny free games since the 80s)

You are a switchboard operator. Quickly connect people to who they want to talk to. If you're too slow or make a wrong connection, you'll lose a contract. But don't worry, you can get it back by making another successful connection! abagames.itch.io/switchboard
Ever wondered what a 'Rally-X Championship Edition' might play like? The goal is to grab all the flags on the left side of the screen. A special flag will then pop up on the right. Snag that special flag, and a whole new course will appear on the left. abagames.itch.io/labyracer
I've got a new snake game. Feel free to try it out if you're interested. www.metafilter.com/209055/Recor...
It occurred to me that not having an 'About Me' page on my website might seem a bit unhelpful, so I went ahead and added it. www.asahi-net.or.jp/~cs8k-cyu/ab...
I contributed an article to "Jisaku Game Magazine 2025", magazine featuring introductions to Japanese indie/homebrew games. I wrote a column titled "Creating Homebrew Games to Enjoy Programming," discussing my activities over the last 40 years yareyare760-game.wixsite.com/home/magazin2

When small integers are passed to Python's hash(), they typically return the same integer value. However, hash(-1) exhibits unusual behavior by returning -2. This is because CPython uses -1 as an error value, making it impossible to return -1 as an actual hash result. omairmajid.com/posts/2021-0...
"Cuttle," a playing card game developed in the 1970s, already featured elements similar to Magic: The Gathering, including card-based attacks, interference, defense, permanent effects, and the existence of "2" cards that could neutralize effects. www.pagat.com/combat/cuttl...
Summary of LLM developments in 2024: Key advances include the emergence of models surpassing GPT-4 and cost reductions. Challenges also emerged, such as low-quality AI-generated content, widening knowledge gaps, and environmental impact from data centers. simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/31/...
Human unpredictability based on experiential memory and intuition is fundamentally different from AI's, suggesting a new collaborative relationship between humans and AI. dev.to/abagames/a-n...
