Arena Survival (Maker Faire 2026) Desktop only

A live exhibit at the Piedmont School Maker Faire. A kid walked up to the TV, told me how they wanted to change the game ("make the player a dragon", "the enemies should be dancing bananas", "add a freeze ray"), and Claude Code edited the source code right there in front of them. A few seconds later the game reloaded and they played their idea. Then the next kid walked up. This is the final version after ~19 kids iterated on it. It is unhinged. Source on GitHub.

md2gdoc

A tiny CLI that turns a local Markdown file into a properly-formatted Google Doc with one command. LLMs love producing Markdown, but you can't email a .md file to your CEO — md2gdoc closes that gap by piping the file through Drive's native Markdown importer, so you get real headings, lists, tables, and code blocks instead of literal ## characters.
