Installation
Prerequisites:
Node.js and npm are not required for the standard VibeGame setup.
First-time Claude Code users: VibeGame launches agents with claude --dangerously-skip-permissions. If you have never used this flag before, run it once in a terminal and accept the confirmation prompt — the first-run consent screen cannot be completed inside VibeGame's managed session, and agent startup will fail without it.
Codex users: after setup.sh, run vibegame setup codex-hooks once, then open Codex, enter /hooks, and trust the newly added VibeGame hooks. The command writes ~/.codex/hooks.json; the trust step is what actually enables them. Until both are done Codex agents still run, but they never register: the Dashboard stays empty and startup keeps waiting for a session that never appears.
git clone https://github.com/tettethu/VibeGame
cd VibeGame
Tell your agent (Claude Code or Codex):
Read and follow the instructions in @docs/SETUP.md to set up this project for me.
Or set it up manually:
./setup.sh
setup.sh links the installed vibegame command to this checkout so the CLI can use the bundled engine, templates, and Dashboard. Keep the checkout available; pulling updates changes the installed CLI without reinstalling it.
Quick Start
mkdir my-game && cd my-game
vibegame init
vibegame start
Or start an existing project from another directory:
vibegame start --project ./my-game "Continue polishing the boss fight"
Use VibeGame's standard build workflow for an end-to-end game development goal:
/vibegame-build Build a compact roguelike dungeon with one boss encounter
Run or close the game directly:
vibegame run --port auto
vibegame close
VibeGame Dashboard
We provide a web dashboard for interacting more freely with the agent team and manually editing game properties.
Roadmap
Acknowledgments
We are inspired by the broader community exploring AI agents for game creation, game development, and gameplay. We thank the teams behind GameDevBench, OpenGame, GameCraft-Bench, and other open-source projects for advancing this field and sharing their work with the community.
- Claude Code and OpenAI Codex - agent runtimes supported by VibeGame.
- Phaser - the web game framework beneath VibeGame's 2D engine.
- Trellis - inspiration for the design of VibeGame's development harness.
- agent-sprite-forge - inspiration for VibeGame's sprite-generation prompt design.
