Claude Fable 5.2 builds a multi-level game in one run
What happened
On November 10, a Hacker News front-page post covered lexandstuff's test of Claude Code with Fable 5.2 for game making. Starting from his nephew's design drawings and existing game code, the model rewrote most of the code in a single run and produced a playable 12-level side-scrolling action game. It generated about 175 images and 140 audio clips, and wrote a bot that played all twelve levels in a headless browser and checked screenshots. The title also says the game later grew to 18 characters, without describing how.
