Pebble Kart

live

This is the one thing on the site I did not build. My son Gabe did. I showed him how to ask an AI for a first working version of a game, and then how to keep asking for changes until it was the game he wanted. He did the rest himself. What he made is a kart race: you drive a kart around a track he designed, and it times your laps.

what it does

  • Gabe built it himself, from the first rough version to the finished one.
  • The first version that could be played came out of a single request to an AI. Everything after that came from asking for changes.
  • A kid ran the whole loop on his own: ask, try it, ask again.
  • You drive a kart around a track he designed, and it times your laps.
