  • Hi HN! Eight days ago I set out to build a cozy little brick builder for the browser.

    Then it escalated. A bit. Maybe a lot.

    Now it’s a GTA-style open brick world: drive cars, ride buses, take off from the airfield and fly over the city, race on the track, claim your own lot and build together with everyone else, brick by brick.

    Built with Claude Code (Opus 5.5), three.js, Node and SQLite. My 9-year-old was the main playtester.

    Feedback welcome, especially what breaks!

  • BTW: Except in the city center and on the streets, you can build anywhere, and everyone can collaborate. If you’d like to build on your own, buy a lot with in-game coins. Then only you can place and remove bricks there.
  • Mouse movement doesn't seem to work with Chrome on Mac.

    Looks good though!

  • Wow. It has build-in physics that checks your structure stability.
  • Second Life with legos?
  • This is dangerous... I just lost a couple of hours having a quick look.

    Well done!
