Claude Code builds Chirp Pong, a two-phone game linked by sound
What happened
On October 16, Simon Willison reported building Chirp Pong, an experimental two-player game, with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code. It starts from Pong with added graphics and gameplay changes. Two phones held close pass game state over chirp audio, which the Web Microphone API decodes, so the two-player link needs no network code and runs in static HTML. Willison says the sound link between the two phones works in testing; what he showed is an experimental game.

Simon Willison 用 Claude Code 中的 Claude Opus 5.5 做出实验性双人游戏 Chirp Pong，两台手机靠近后通过麦克风发送的 chirp 音频传输游戏状态，由 Web 麦克风 API 解析，无需网络代码即可在静态 HTML 中运行。游戏在 pong 基础上加入图形与玩法变化，实测可行。
