Hey everyone,

Last week, I released my trading game. I posted it in the group, and it got more attention than I expected. Here are some stats from the first week. The numbers have gone down a bit since the launch, but honestly, it's still doing pretty well in my opinion.

Yesterday, I added Forex and Futures trading, so people who aren't into crypto can now play something different as well.

Hopefully, it keeps reaching more people and the community continues to grow. If you enjoy trading but don't want to wait an entire day to enter a trade, this is the perfect game for you!

Thanks to everyone who has tried it so far.

Hey,

I wanted to share my experience about my first vibe coded project. It started with an unserious idea of my friend while we where gaming. He said yeah come a game of trading after this. I laughed but quickly i was thinking, hmmm a trading game. I know there are backtest websites that let you see the graph from the past and you can play thru it. But multiplayer trading against other people in quick games that doesn’t exist in my eyes.

So i started to ask Windsurf. I’ve made some tools already with Windsurf so i kinda had an idea of what to ask etc. But the next morning i see… Windsurf had made there free version completely useless, it was so slow. So i searched for a new ai. I came across Claude. And tbh it was a relief imo even the free version was better than Windsurf. I quickly upgraded to pro bcs i was always running out of credits and i didn’t want to always wait for the reset.

Okay fast forward, in a week i had a good base but the finetuning is what took the longest. I also found out i (Claude) coded everything for single player hahah. So i needed to convert everything. I have no idea of how a multiplayer game works (backend) or how java script, sockets. But we managed to get it to work. After 2 weeks or so me and my friend played the first game, it didn’t work perfect but the main idea was working.

I kept working to a point where i thought yeah i think is okay to release a first version. So i bought domain name and a hosting server. The setup was pain in the *ss. Bcs again i had no idea how to do it. But luckily i had Claude hahah. I was also posting tiktok’s at the time it picked up some views but not crazy.

Okay the day before the release i posted a short video on reddit. And to my surprise it kinda got some views and people thought it was a good idea for a game like that. They where asking to play so i just opened up the server so they could play games.

I didn’t have 100’s of players first day but there where people playing. I also saw some people coming back at night. So it gave a lot of satisfaction to see that people where playing. We are deff not there yet put it’s a first step. I now have to focus a bit more on marketing.

So yeah this was my experience of my first vibe coded project!
