I built a sailing simulator game with Claude
The game is free to play in the browser, works both on mobile and desktop, but a desktop sized screen is preferred. Other sailing games (the few that even exist) focus on playing regattas and start already on the water. I wanted to have a more simulation-like experience and go through each step of getting out of a harbor, hoisting sails, moving the sheets and steering, instructing your crew, or getting back up after capsizing a dinghy. All while following real world physics, and staying fun. So I had Claude Code build the game. It's completely done by Claude, with the addition of looking up some external free to use models and data (such as maps), more info on the credits screen. It's set on 2 lakes (Balaton in Hungary, and lake Powidzkie in Poland), because that's where I have some real life sailing experience, but should be extendible with other lakes. I have zero sea sailing experience so not sure how it would apply to that. The trailer is also prepared by Claude Code, it recorded pre-scripted footage from the browser and then edited it together. Even found and added the music to it. Game is available here: bowline.mantacode.com
