Doomscrolling: The Game

A non-programmer used AI (GPT-5) to build a browser-based game, 'Doomscrolling,' in just two hours. The game is played solely by scrolling up and down, dodging monsters, collecting power-ups, and encountering news headlines from the New York Times RSS feed. The author cleverly leveraged AI to design game assets like background textures, monsters, and news plaques, using interactive 'lab' pages to fine-tune visuals. The result is a surprisingly fun and unique gaming experience.
