How I Built a Retro Game in an Hour: My Experience With Gemini 2.5 Pro and Vibe Coding

SMRTR summary

Gemini 2.5 Pro, now available in Cursor, enables rapid game development through "vibe coding." A developer created a retro-style thief game in just one hour using this AI-powered method. The process involved iterative refinement through prompts, resulting in a playable game with AI-generated sprites. However, the code produced was messy and difficult to maintain, with inconsistencies and repeated errors. While efficient for quick projects, this approach poses challenges for long-term development and may require significant clean-up work.
