Start a game

Pick a game type. The Hivecoding CLI makes your game from it on your computer, with its server, saving and phone controls already working, and your AI coding tool builds the rest from your description.

Puzzle

A merge puzzle with hand-made levels, a daily board everyone shares, and scores the server checks.

Single-player: one player at a time, with saved progress and a leaderboard. Hosting one is free.

Make it

```
$ npx hivecoding new --type puzzle
```
2
Build it with your AI
Open the folder in Claude Code or another AI coding tool and describe your game. Its AGENTS.md explains the engine, the server, the checks and the recipes, so your AI knows how this game works.

```

```
$ npx hivecoding check$ npx hivecoding publish
