Claude Code for C++/Qt development

[Sean Reifschneider]

LOSEKE!  Kristen and I were just talking about you a couple weeks ago; we
had a meeting
icebreaker about "if you could drive any vehicle what would it be" and she
said tank.

Here are some others you might like, some better than others:

Rally-X: https://linsomniac.github.io/rally-xy/
Dig-Dug: https://linsomniac.github.io/digger/
Spy Hunter: https://linsomniac.github.io/spychaser/

Spy Hunter is kind of a homage, and barely so, but I also just gave it the
wikipedia page and said "build something like this",
and this was its first attempt.  TeaPot I think is the best attempt so far,
and was only slightly more than "here is the wikipedia
page, build a web page implementation of it.

Hope all is well with you.

Sean
