The entire game was made by the child alone, and there’s video proof.

An 8-year-old, with no prior coding experience, manually built a website.

Whether it’s just hype or not, it really feels like AI is making coding easier.

The child’s father, Meng To, creator of the online learning provider DesignCode, shared this surprising news on X:

"My 8-year-old son, with no coding experience, built a Three.js website. He used Claude AI and had Cursor do all the coding. In fact, he completed several projects, including two platform games, a drawing app, an animation app, and an AI chat app, each taking about 2 hours. I only helped him set up Cursor, Git, and Netlify."

Meng To added, "Now, code has become a design tool, and people don’t even need to write it anymore."
