Coldplay Canoodlers Plus

🎉 Hey Product Hunt community! I'm thrilled to share Coldplay Canoodlers Plus - a project that completely changed my perspective on AI-assisted development! What started as a simple idea became a fascinating experiment: Could I build a complete game using AI collaboration? The answer is a resounding YES! 🤖 The AI Magic: Working with Claude was like having the world's most patient coding partner. Not only did it write the entire TypeScript codebase, but it also: - Generated all pixel art assets programmatically - Created sound effects using Web Audio API - Solved complex CORS and mobile compatibility issues - Even wrote comprehensive game guides in multiple languages! 🎮 Why This Game: I chose a "find the couples" concept because it's universally understood, requires no tutorials, and creates those satisfying "aha!" moments. Adding the Coldplay theme made it more engaging and gave it personality. ⚡ Development Speed: From concept to playable game in 3 days (working intermittently). Traditional development would have taken weeks, especially with asset creation! 🔧 Technical Nerdy Stuff: - Single 13.4MB HTML file (works offline!) - Progressive difficulty algorithm: 3 + (level-1) × 5 targets - Innovative hover-reveal mechanic for desktop + touch drag - Full iframe embedding support - localStorage high score persistence 🌍 Try It Anywhere: The game runs in any modern browser, works on mobile, and can be embedded anywhere. No downloads, no accounts - just pure gaming fun! 💭 Lessons Learned: 1. AI excels at technical execution when given clear requirements 2. Human creativity + AI implementation = powerful combination 3. Modular development approach works perfectly with AI assistance 4. Single-file deployment is incredibly practical for distribution 🚀 What's Next: Planning power-ups, achievements, and multiple venue backgrounds. The AI collaboration continues! I'd love to hear your thoughts on AI-assisted development and whether you enjoy this style of observation game. Thanks for checking it out! 🙏 P.S. - The game is completely free and works great as a quick break between meetings! 😄
