I made my own video games with Meta’s new free AI vibe-coding app — and I didn’t expect to have this much fun

I made my own video games with Meta’s new free AI vibe-coding app — and I didn’t expect to have this much fun

A young gamer recently discovered the joy of creating their own video games using Meta's new free AI vibe-coding app, Pocket. Before switching to Communications, the author dreamed of studying Computer Science, but found the field too confusing and unrealistic. Now, with just a few taps on their iPhone, they were able to bring their ideas to life, producing games such as one where they shoot unicorns from the sky and another that mimicked the classic puzzle game Bust-A-Move.

The author also experimented with more complex games, like one where they bounce on trampolines within clouds, and even designed a simple one-button arcade game inspired by Flappy Bird. The author encourages others to try vibe coding and create their own games, providing several prompts to inspire their creativity.
