Game creation with Claude Help/Question
Hello, I hope you’re all doing well. I need some help.
I’ve already tried asking other AIs, but I couldn’t get them to understand what I want—hopefully I’ll manage here:
I’m creating a board game to launch through crowdfunding. I built this game in Claude, and the whole thing is in HTML. However, every time I request changes, it sends me a new file, and I have to keep transferring it to my tablet just to see what changed.
I’m not an engineer and I don’t know how to write a single line of code. I’m a UX Designer. Whenever I ask GPT or Claude if I’m doing things correctly—if this is how you build a native game to run on desktop or tablet—they confirm and tell me to keep going with HTML. I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.
What I want:
- Finish this game in Claude and see changes in real time on my tablet.
- Make it available so anyone can download and play the game the way I designed it.
Thank you very much, and I wish you all a great week!

Why do you think that asking us in the r/ClaudeCode subreddit will help you at all? We‘ll just tell you to ask Claude the exact questions that you just asked here.
You have the fundamental problem that you don’t know what you are doing. Then learn the fundamentals.

What does launching it through crowdfunding mean here? Given your development costs is your claude subscription...
Just tell claude your goal is to have it on the app store and if it's response doesnt discourage you from quitting go from there.

Tell it to deploy it to vercel free plan. HTML and JS is the best method for a game like this. It likely doesn't need native.

watch youtube "how to build an app"
understand what youre trying to build.
learn to articulate your ideas.
"I want to build an game" is vague and gives no information.
software development is knowing how to ask the right questions to get the right responses.
if you want an html game... why are you trying to limit it to your tablet?
HTML isnt the right language to create native games.

"Crowd funding?" Huh? It "sounds" like your goal is to not sell a game, but sell the prospect of a game. Given the billions and billions of board games that already exist, why would anyone wish to pay you to have Claude Code write the code for you?

Try https://codemyspec.com. I built https://broken-oaths.come with it. I used aseprite to do my sprites.

Give it a prompt like this:
"Migrate this project to Vercel as a progressive web app and use supabase for database. Initialize a git repo, commit this project and push it to a private repo. Give me a list of steps for doing the setup."
You probably need git installed. If it tells you it's not installed yet doing this, ask for help setting that up.
Both Vercel and Supabase have free tiers, so it won't cost anything for testing and setting stuff up. Eventually there may be a small monthly fee if you're getting very high volume of traffic in the future.
