I Turned My AI Coding Agents Into a Video Game

Overview

An AI coding agent “software factory” is presented as a 3D, game-like environment. The creator’s system runs real coding agents (e.g., Claude Code/Codex, and references OpenCode) that automatically turn GitHub-style work items into code changes and PRs, while a single “CEO agent” orchestrates hiring, task assignment, and coordination across projects.

Core Product / Tech Concepts

Software factory in 3D

• Projects are represented as “floors” in a browser-based 3D world.
• Each agent has:
  • a visible live terminal UI
  • an “agent browser” for viewing agent details.

Two workflow modes

1. Direct GitHub integration

   • Log issues → assign to coding agents → a swarm implements changes → creates pull requests.

2. Paperclip-like approach

   • A self-hosted web/CLI interface manages agents (described as less “sexy”).
   • Org structure is handled via the CEO-like agent.

CEO agent orchestration

• The user primarily talks to a CEO agent rather than managing sub-agents directly.
• The CEO agent can:
  • hire new agents
  • manage their workload
  • operate across multiple projects

Model / harness configuration

• The app supports multiple coding-model backends:
  • Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode
• Users can choose setup defaults such as:
  • reasoning effort
  • default coding harness

Key Features Shown

Project setup options

• Create new projects
• Link existing GitHub repositories
• Use a local workspace/folder

Backlog ↔ GitHub issues mapping

• New backlog items become GitHub issues.
• Agents:
  • update issues with comments
  • report progress in real time
• Tasks are auto-assigned to the right swarm agents based on role.

QA agent review loop

• After developer agents complete changes:
  • a QA agent tests/reviews
• If problems are found:
  • the task is reassigned back to the developer agent.

Auto-merge with safeguards

• Merge requires:
  • QA passing
  • all checks succeeding
• Merge gating includes:
  • GitHub CI/CD checks
  • optionally checks from CodeRabbit and Vercel
• Users can disable auto-merge.
• The app can pull the QA report (including evidence like test screenshots) and link it to the corresponding GitHub PR.

Live app preview

• A built-in “monitor” starts a dev server so changes appear immediately in a live website preview.
• Includes a responsive “phone view.”

Mobile / interactive management

• Mobile UI shows:
  • who’s working on what
  • planning/milestones
  • chat with the CEO
• Users can review “candidates” in a lobby/waiting room and approve:
  • hire → move to project

Real-time visible agent activity

• Agents can be selected in the 3D space to view:
  • the terminal UI
  • role/job descriptions
  • current work

Build / Implementation Notes (Tutorial-Style)

3D environment generation prompt

• The creator used Opus 5.5 (noted as strong at 3D/game environment work) to generate a browser-based 3D environment.
• The prompt instructed:
  • cartoonish first-person 3D
  • software-factory behavior
  • use of Claude Code + Claude Agent SDK

Cost / time claim for initial build

• Ran for ~1 hour 16 minutes
• Cost about $35 for the initial session/build

Setup instructions

• Open-source project
• “Single command” setup installs dependencies and opens the browser.
• First-run flow includes:
  • entering company name
  • configuring a CEO agent (name, attributes/rules)
  • choosing manual vs automatic hiring

Using the system

• Wait for the CEO to hire initial sub-agents.
• Ask the CEO to create tasks (example: improve visual design / add variety).
• Navigate to project floors to view live agents and see GitHub-backed issues/PRs updating.

Mentioned Additional Learning Resources

• The creator promotes Agentic Labs (Skool) with hours of videos:
  • “agentic coding fundamentals,” dev environment setup
  • design systems/animations
  • projects to follow along
  • weekly sessions (coffee Tuesdays, deep dives Thursdays)

Sponsor (Relevant Technical Angle)

• Oracle Agent Studio for Fusion Applications is sponsored:
  • agents run inside Oracle Fusion for security/rules/tracking
  • developers build using familiar tools (e.g., VS Code/Cursor/terminal/Git + coding agents)
