Profile

One-day experiment using claude code and grok heavy to build a tiny teaser for Scout, a map-based cycling RPG we’re about to release in Portland, OR. I’m a founder of Ride with GPS, and figured a playable prototype would be more fun than a static email form.Gameplay: - Click an icon -> fetches a real route from our routing service -> auto-rides it (~400×, 12 mph). - Collect items, reveal more. Arrow keys + spacebar for free roam + fireballs. - Add ?edit=1 to open the in-browser item editor to see how I put the items on the map. - No signup to poke at it (just req email for invites). Under the hood: preloads a few static tiles from our map server, dynamically recolors them for the game theme,
