Tools they used
Cost: Claude Code: from $17/mo; Claude Opus 5.5: from $4 in / $20 out per 1M tokens.
Set it up
Write a one-page brief
Describe the app in plain words: who it is for, the 3 core screens or actions, and what "done" looks like.
Start the project with your agent
Open Claude Code and paste the brief. Ask it to propose a stack and a file plan before writing code.
Build one slice at a time
Ship the smallest working flow first, run it, then add features one by one. Commit after each working step.
Test it like a user
Click through on desktop and phone. Ask the agent to add basic tests and fix anything that breaks.
Check security and ship
Keep keys in environment variables, check auth and database rules, then deploy and share the link.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.

Make a cozy 3D fishing game with Claude, Blender, Tripo and Unity 6
A solo developer built a fishing game with one rule: each tool gets one job. Tripo generates every model, Blender cleans them, Opus 5.5 writes the Unity 6 code piece by piece instead of asking for a whole game.
Build a playable 3D game in two days for under $100
A builder made a playable 3D cat game in 2 days. Tripo turned his reference images into 16 3D models; Opus 5.5 in Blender made the rigs, animations and room, and in Unity wrote the ray, rope, parachute and cat AI, one short brief per system.
Have Claude Code build a treadmill running app overnight with competing 3D worlds
He asked Claude Code for a treadmill app at 22:05 and it was done by 07:05. When he called the 3D "a bit cheap" at 01:59, three agents each built a new world and a jury of agents picked the winner.
Build a whole 3D game in one Claude Code chat without Blender
A builder made an entire 3D browser game in a single continuous Claude Code conversation with Opus 5.5 and three.js. Every model and scene is written as code, with no Blender or imported 3D assets.
