Someone turned their monitor into a laser pointer firing range game using Claude Code
It's like a light gun game, but with lasers.
A user on the ClaudeAI subreddit has developed a novel gaming concept called ScreenPlink, which transforms a monitor into a digital firing range using a red laser. Over the course of two weeks, the individual utilized Claude Code to create this unique experience. The game operates by employing a webcam placed beside the monitor to track the laser's path on the screen.
Whenever the pixel hit is detected, the app marks the corresponding location on the screen as a bullet hole, simulating a hit on the target. The app even supports multiplayer mode, allowing for an immersive gaming experience reminiscent of using a light gun on a PlayStation console. The project, open-source and free to play, encourages users to repurpose their laser pointers and enjoy a nostalgic gaming session.
The ScreenPlink project can be found on the GitHub repository for those interested in exploring or contributing to the development.
