What they did
A developer built MatchCore, the game-intelligence engine for his Toybox Soccer game on Apple Vision Pro, tuned with thousands of 2D simulations and trials of over 20 hand-controller designs. He then asked Codex to port the engine overnight.
Result (as claimed)
He shared the overnight Codex port of his custom engine on X.
Tools they used
Cost: OpenAI Codex: free plan, paid from $8/mo. Checked 2026-10-14.
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 OpenAI Codex 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.
