Gen AI Quest

A two-minute pixel platformer about what generative AI can do. Pix, a little robot, grabs one power-up per level: writing, images, code, voice and music, video, analysis and agents. Then a fake coin tries to fool him.

How it was made

I built this with Claude Code. Every frame is drawn in code on a 320×180 screen, the size of an old game console, and scaled up six times so the pixels stay sharp. The hero, the tiles and the tune are all original.

The chiptune music and sound effects are made in code from square, triangle and noise waves, the way 8-bit consoles made sound. The narrator is an ElevenLabs voice, pitched up into a cartoon character. Captions are in the player.
