I also built a very cool mini golf game using Codex and Unity CLI. Then I remotely control the game directly from the terminal. Youโll want to see this! โณ
A few highlights:
- Built with hand tracking in mind: place walls, objects, and evidence using intuitive hand gestures
- Hosted by miniaturist Carol K. Ras who guides you through each case
- Each episode is ~20 minutes of immersive storytelling
- Reconstruct infamous crime scenes in miniature, from Lizzie Borden to the 1911 theft of the Mona Lisa
- Crime scenes materialize in your hands as the story unfolds
- Blends true crime podcasts with mixed reality model-making
Itโs very exciting to see devs explore VR/MR beyond the usual formats, blending narrative, crafting, and spatial design into something genuinely unique.
๐ฅ For a step by step process take a look at my latest video.

Weโll also build a brand-new feature that lets players destroy their mixed reality walls and ceilings.
A few highlights:
- Built hands-first, with no controller support
- Play seated or standing
- Climb, sneak, solve puzzles, and complete hand-driven challenges
- Natural physics-based interactions that feel responsive and intuitive
- Collect Power-Ups and activate them with hand gestures
- Punch through brick walls and shoot your hand gun, especially at your cat ๐
- Build and test levels instantly with an advanced level editor
- Online levels are planned post-launch
I love seeing XR devs push hand tracking in so many innovative ways, and this is exactly the kind of project that shows where MR gameplay can go next. ๐

๐ Here is the event website for additional context
๐ Main features added:
- Comprehensive theme system
- 5 themes: Default, Light, Dark, Knicks, and Spurs
- Theme editor tools to speed up testing directly in the Unity Editor, with no deployment needed
- Anti-cheating features added
Iโd love your thoughts on this!
๐ If you want to try it - the game is fully FREE & available from the Meta Horizon Store.
I built it using:
- Meta VR CLI
- Agentic Tools Repo, full of skills
- Claude Code + VS Code
- Unity 6 + Unity MCP
- Meta XR Core + Meta ISDK + MRUK
- OpenAI Image 2.0 for concept generation
- Adobe Photoshop for all the store assets
๐กHonestly, this project taught me so much about what modern VR/MR development workflows can look like when you combine Unity with our agentic workflows.
๐ Feel free to download it completely FREE from the Meta Horizon Store!
This last 2 weeks of work includes a lot of changes Iโm really excited about:
- Added Wall Targets and new wall visualizers, with multiple visualizer modes and a toggle
- Live leaderboard that refreshes instantly when a new record is set
- New music plus a variety of gameplay fixes and polish
- Improved hand tracking with faster tracking, poke surfaces, and fixed hands fighting when placing the court on a table
- Smarter room setup now prompts the user to scan the room when outside the current space
- Gameplay is tuned to 30-second rounds, expanded shooting zone, refined net and pole geometry
- Performance improvements across the board
- New app logo, refreshed icons, and a spatial splash screen
- Set up a skill to automate incrementing the project build version, build the project, and submit it to the Meta Horizon Store
- Created all required store media and listing assets prepared
- New sound visualizer modes: In Room, On Court, or Off
- Visualizers now react to music and game events
- New targets ๐ฏ that add +2 points per hit. Theyโre fully customizable and procedurally generated
- Improved MRUK room detection flow
- 3 new music tracks & new sound effects when the ball hits MRUK walls, ceilings, or the floor
- New warning sound when only 10 seconds are remaining
- 3 new achievements
- Added all the metadata to the Meta Horizon Portal
Itโs getting closer to submission, and honestly, it has been so much fun seeing this game evolve every week. ๐ฅ
- New onboarding flow with tabletop and floating placement
- Mini tutorial to teach the core mechanic
- Updated basketball with shader-generated lines
- Court and basketball impact shader
- Sound effects for scoring, bouncing, and achievements, also 3 new music tracks
- Full PSDK integration with 1 leaderboard and 10+ achievements
- Achievement toast popup when players unlock one
- Persistent Spatial Anchors, so court placement restores after closing the app
- Debug area to restart onboarding, toggle aiming lines, and view in-game logs
- Improved basketball bounce physics, it feels much more realistic now
- Lastly, A LOT of additional fixes & improvements!
๐กWhatโs next?
- Creating store metadata, screenshots, trailer, and store details
- Then submitting the game ๐ most likely next week!

The results ๐คฏ and this used to take me a while because I had to manually resize and adjust everything before I could even make it work. This is exactly why Unity AI and their exposed MCP tools are such a big deal for developers.
For context, this used to be a full-scaled mixed reality experience which I created last week. Today, I spent about 1 hour converting it to a tabletop game.
๐ฅ Take a look at my latest YouTube video https://youtu.be/bWxIF903t_I where I guide you through the process of creating it using Unity AI and Meta Agentic Tools.

๐ Hereโs what Iโm covering today:
- Unity VR project setup (with OpenXR plugins)
- Installing the Unity AI Assistant and demos
- Configuring Unity MCP + Meta MCP Extensions
- Configuring Claude Code & MCPs
- Building a VR/MR Basketball Game with the Unity AI Assistant, Claude Agent, and external Claude Code CLI
- A lot of iteration with Claude Code + the Meta XR Simulator
