Frequently asked questions about antics

Can I make a game if I can't code?

Yes. Describe the game to an AI (Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor) and it writes every line. Most creators here have no coding experience.

Do my friends need to download anything?

No. Games are browser-based. Send the link and friends click to play instantly—no install, launcher, or account needed.

How do I add multiplayer to a game I created?

Connect the antics MCP server or use llms.txt. It adds rooms, live state sync, leaderboards, deployment, and returns a playable link.

Which AI coding agents work with antics?

Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor have one-line setups. Any agent that can read a docs file and write JavaScript works.

What is the difference between a world and a room?

A world is a public URL with a global leaderboard where anyone can join. A room is a private fresh link for a specific group of friends.

Do I need to run a server?

No. Antics runs all servers, matchmaking, state sync, and hosting. You get a URL with no operational overhead.
