I built a Claude Code wrapper to play minigames while its working

Hacker News

Tired of waiting for claude to finish, I create a shortcut to open a minigame while its running. To use just install >>> npm run -g claude-arcade and then run >>> claude-arc This will launch claude, with the ability to play minigames while it generates on the same terminal by pressing Ctrl + G. Come back any time to claude code by doing Ctrl+C or Q here you find a simple leaderboard of the games: https://claude-arcade.lovable.app/ Adding the classic Dinosaur game from chrome soon!
