## What it does

The skill copies a base project template: Phaser for 2D or Three.js for 3D games. It updates `package.json`, installs dependencies with `npm install`, and launches a development server on port 3000. Next, a delegated subagent implements the core loop. The agent constrains itself strictly to one scene, unified touch and keyboard controls, basic score tracking, and clean restart logic.

Once the code is written, it validates the project by executing `npm run build` and captures a screenshot if Playwright MCP is connected. Visual assets, music, and monetization are excluded on purpose to save time. Keep in mind that 3D projects demand a `MESHY_API_KEY` from `https://app.meshy.ai`, so 3D generation stops if that key is missing.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PlayableIntelligence/game-creator --skill quick-game -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/quick-game/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/quick-game/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PlayableIntelligence/game-creator --skill quick-game -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/quick-game/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PlayableIntelligence/game-creator --skill quick-game -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/quick-game/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install PlayableIntelligence/game-creator quick-game
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/quick-game/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PlayableIntelligence/game-creator --skill quick-game -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/PlayableIntelligence/game-creator --path skills/quick-game
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/quick-game/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add PlayableIntelligence/game-creator --skill quick-game -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/PlayableIntelligence/game-creator/tree/HEAD/skills/quick-game/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- Scaffold a playable core loop in Phaser or Three.js
- Turn a tweet URL into an interactive 2D game prototype
- Set up unified mobile touch and keyboard controls
- Verify code integrity with an automated npm run build check

## Example prompts
- /quick-game 2d asteroid-dodge
- /quick-game 3d space-runner
- /quick-game https://x.com/user/status/123456

Use when the user says "quick game", "fast prototype", "just get something playable", or wants a game without the full pipeline. For the complete one-shot pipeline (deploy + monetize), use /viral-game instead. For a milestone-driven project, use /make-game. Do NOT use for production games.

## Performance Notes

- Take your time to do this thoroughly
- Quality is more important than speed
- Do not skip validation steps

# Quick Game (Fast Prototype)

Build a playable game prototype as fast as possible. This is `/viral-game` without the polish — just scaffold + implement the core loop. Get something on screen, then incrementally add layers with `/add-assets`, `/design-game`, `/add-audio`, `/game-deploy`, and `/monetize-game`.

**What you'll get:**
1. A scaffolded game project with clean architecture
2. Core gameplay — input, movement, scoring, fail condition, restart
3. A running dev server you can play immediately

**What you skip** (run these later if you want):
- `/add-assets` — pixel art sprites (2D) or 3D models
- `/design-game` — visual polish, particles, transitions
- `/add-audio` — music and sound effects
- `/record-promo` — promo video capture
- `/game-deploy` — deploy to here.now
- `/monetize-game` — Play.fun integration

## Instructions

### Step 0: Parse arguments

Parse `$ARGUMENTS` to determine the game concept:

**Direct specification:** `[2d|3d] [game-name]`
- **Engine**: `2d` (Phaser) or `3d` (Three.js). If not specified, default to `2d`.
- **Name**: kebab-case. If not specified, ask the user.

**Tweet URL:** If arguments contain a tweet URL (`x.com/*/status/*`, `twitter.com/*/status/*`, `fxtwitter.com/*/status/*`):
1. Fetch the tweet using the `fetch-tweet` skill
2. Default to 2D
3. Creatively abstract a game concept from the tweet
4. Generate a kebab-case name
5. Tell the user what you'll build

**Meshy API Key (3D only):** If 3D, check for `MESHY_API_KEY`. If missing, ask the user (link to https://app.meshy.ai). Store for model generation.

### Step 1: Scaffold + Implement

**Infrastructure (main thread):**

1. Locate the template directory — check `~/.claude/plugins/cache/local-plugins/game-creator/*/templates/` or `templates/` relative to this plugin
2. **Target directory**: If inside the `game-creator` repo, create in `examples/<game-name>/`. Otherwise, create in `./<game-name>/`.
3. Copy the template:
   - 2D: `templates/phaser-2d/` → target
   - 3D: `templates/threejs-3d/` → target
4. Update `package.json` name and `index.html` title
5. Run `npm install`
6. Start the dev server (`npm run dev`) in the background. Check port availability first — if 3000 is taken, try 3001, 3002, etc.

**Game implementation (subagent via Task):**

Launch a `Task` subagent with:
```
