Summary

Caleb Leak has been teaching his dog Momo to assist in coding games using Claude Code by framing the instructions as coming from a genius game designer who speaks in riddles. The process involves implementing strong guardrails and providing tools for automated feedback, leading to unexpectedly successful results.

Key Takeaways

The author taught their dog, Momo, to input commands on a Bluetooth keyboard to create video games using Claude Code.
A Raspberry Pi 5 and a Rust app called DogKeyboard were used to filter Momo's keystrokes and send them to Claude Code for game development.
Each game takes 1 to 2 hours to develop from Momo's initial keystrokes to a playable build, utilizing Godot 4.6 and C# for game logic.
The success of the project relied on crafting a specific prompt that instructed Claude Code to interpret nonsensical inputs as meaningful game design ideas.
