Vibe coding a 3D multiplayer game in 15 minutes—with no game dev experience | Cody De Arkland (Senior Director of Developer Experience at Sentry)
Cody De Arkland is the senior director of developer experience at Sentry, leading a team that empowers developers to build and ship software with greater safety and efficiency. Watch him speed-run the creation of a 3D multiplayer flight simulator—from scratch—in just 15 minutes, demonstrating the power (and creativity) that vibe coding enables.
What you’ll learn:
• How to approach building complex applications with AI by starting broad and iterating on specific features
• The process of using multiple AI coding assistants simultaneously to build different components
• Techniques for learning new technologies and frameworks through AI-assisted exploration
• How to troubleshoot and fix issues when AI implementations don’t work as expected
• The parallels between building fun projects and enterprise software with AI assistance
• Strategies for keeping AI tools focused when they go off track or add unwanted features
• The incredible velocity and productivity gains possible with modern AI coding tools
• How anyone can now build sophisticated applications with minimal prior experience
