Are AI tools making it easier to build “game-like” websites?
I built WhaleIndex as a small experiment to see how far AI coding tools can go when creating an interactive website.
The project was generated almost entirely with Claude Code, which helped produce both backend and frontend code. The goal was to build something simple but visually engaging: an ocean where billionaire wealth is represented by sea creatures, with scrolling depth, animations, and visual effects.
For fun, I also added a small mini-game where you can fish near the boat and randomly catch creatures.
This made me wonder: as AI coding tools improve, could they make it easier to build websites that feel more like interactive experiences or small video games, with graphics, animations, and playful mechanics built directly into the web?
Curious to hear what others think about this direction.
We’re launching on Product Hunt soon:
