One unexpected benefit of LLMs is I can work on projects I otherwise wouldn't have taken on. I made a web-based autoshooter (with multiplayer support) heavily using AI / LLMs.

This is something I'd consider "alpha" quality so don't expect a super polished experience but it's hopefully fun

Lured me in more than I expected. Sure it's a clone of Vampires or any other similar game. But who can say no to Mechs?

The beginning is a little slow and it takes some time running around and avoiding opponents until you manage to access at least two upgrades. But it's fun and I have it bookmarked.

Nice - and yea, it definitely slowly ramps up in the beginning. I'd love any thoughts on how to make that better w/ out just dropping people into a scenario where they're like "Yea, this is too hard - I'm out"

This was more fun than I was expecting. Nice way to waste 20 min!

I played again and found issues. After level 40ish, basically nothing can hurt you. You heal too fast. And once I got past level 80ish, I was running so fast, I ran through walls. And the saddest part, I got to level 200+ and couldn’t die to lock in my high score! It was a fun time though, thanks for sharing this game!

It's webrtc and a super light signaling setup
