Welcome y’all!

Hi! I m Emanuele, the maker.

Built this with Claude Code as an exercise to explore Gemini AI integration, Stripe/PayPal webhooks, and Supabase RLS for public leaderboards.

Zero users by design the goal was learning full-stack payment + AI workflows. Happy to discuss the architecture!

Can You Pass Hormuz? - Navigate geopolitics. Answer questions. Pass the Strait.

A 3-minute geopolitical retro style game where you navigate real-world tensions and answer controversial questions to sail through the world’s most strategic strait. What makes it different: Built as a full-stack learning project integrating: NextJs, Claude Code, Gemini AI for real-time question generation, Stripe + PayPal for payments, and Supabase for multiplayer leaderboards. It’s a technical showcase for AI integration and payment processing combined into a playable experience.
