Vibe Coding: How AI Generates Games from Plain English Descriptions

Vibe coding, a term coined by OpenAI co-founder Andrej Karpathy, lets developers build software by describing features in plain language while AI writes the code. At Vibe Arcade, every game was created this way, with AI handling logic, rendering, and audio from a single HTML file. The approach works well for browser games due to instant feedback and self-contained scope, but struggles with deep gameplay balance and original art.
