About
- A software developer with 20 years of experience but new to game development completed the Phaser.js-based tower defense game "Tower of Time" using AI coding agents
- The goal was to test whether AI can actually develop games; the code and all AI prompts and the work process are documented on GitHub
- More than 95% of the code was written by AI, using a combination of AI tools such as Augment Code, Cursor, and Claude Sonnet 4
- The game offers unique fun such as strategy built around a time-rewind feature, various towers, an energy management system, and enemies appearing in waves
- Useful as learning material for both game and AI beginners, covering live streaming, use of art and sound assets, and lessons and practical tips learned during development
