I Built an AI Game Arcade with Vanilla JavaScript and Zero Build Steps
Description and use
A build‑free AI game arcade where each game is a self‑contained module that runs directly in the browser.
Problem
Create a playable AI-generated game collection that can be inspected and run immediately without a build pipeline.
Outcome
An easily inspectable, build‑free AI game arcade that demonstrates how affordable AI models can generate playable browser games with minimal tooling.
Workflow
- Clone the arcade-vault repository
- Open a local static server (e.g.,
python -m http.server) - Navigate to the main page to see the game registry
- Click a cartridge card to launch the game
- Use the shared eject button to return to the arcade
Evidence
The goal was to make every game immediately inspectable and playable. Clone the repository, open a static server, and the project runs.
