Show HN: Incremendle, a new number-go-up game every day

https://incremendle.com/

Hey y'all, I'm Nick. I wanted to share a side project I started sometime last month.I really enjoy incremental games (like Cookie Clicker, Scritchy Scratchy, etc.) and wondered if I could get a coding agent to build a new one every day that I'd actually want to play.So I built an incremental game development harness with Claude Code. The first games were pretty rough, but I found that adding a...

This is really neat. It would be interesting to talk with the character generated.

Author here. Happy to dive deeper on anything.

What's also interesting to me is the data showing a change in how we build. It's enabled us to ship more focused, smaller PRs instead of bundling them into bigger ones.

Some data since rollout: 55-60% of changes don't require human review, the number of PRs we ship per day has doubled, and p90 diff size is 70% smaller

I totally get that, and I'm reminded of plugin architectures (e.g. VSCode extensions or browser extensions).

Those extensions don't modify the core codepaths for what they integrate with, but still provide new capabilities for only what I want to use.

I guess I don't see extensibility, agentic capabilities, and more code safety (and fewer tokens burned on codemods) as mutually exclusive. Not saying you're saying that fwiw.

I tried NanoClaw and love the skill (and container by default) model. But having skills generate new code in my personalized fork feels off to me… I think it’s because eventually the “few thousand auditable lines” idea vanishes with enough skills added?

Could skill contributions collapse into only markdown and MCP calls? New features would still be just skills; they’d bring in versioned, open-source MCP servers running inside the same container sandbox. I haven’t tried this (yet) but I think this could keep the flexibility while minimizing skill code stepping on each other.

I've been been involved with my university's ACM chapter for over three years now (and we've had a positive impact on the community), so I'm interested in your university's decision.

Was irrelevancy the only factor that caused your university to disband the chapter? Did another organization take its place?
