Gemini 2.5 Pro, integrated with Cursor, facilitates a dynamic development environment for creative projects like game design. The author leveraged its capabilities to create a retro-style game with minimal effort, achieving his goal in a single afternoon. This experience, described as "vibe coding," entailed instructing Cursor to lay out initial gameplay, followed by iterative refinements. However, challenges included messy code organization and repeated mistakes from the AI, which affected overall efficiency. Version control through Git provided a safety net for managing setbacks during development.
The experience turned out to be nearly 100% "vibe coding." In just 12 minutes, I laid down the initial gameplay by simply instructing Cursor on my goals.
The messy side of AI-driven development was evident; the code was poorly organized and packed into a single file, making debugging tedious.
