Building a Game with 6 AI Agents

2 Hours to MVP: Building a Game with Claude

One Button Arena is a bare-bones survival arcade game. Hold left-click to charge a dash, release to burst forward. Dashing through enemies kills them - standing still gets you killed.

No art assets, no audio files: everything is procedurally generated. Built in Godot 4.4.1 using a 6-agent Claude Code workflow where each agent owns and writes to specific files.

The 6-Agent Architecture

Instead of one AI agent doing everything, development was split across six specialized agents with strict file ownership boundaries. Agents communicate through Godot signals - no agent can modify another's files. A blocker/petition protocol forces agents to stop and request changes through the Integrator when they need something outside their scope.

IntegratorOrchestrates all agents, sole human interface, approves architecture changes
