I spent many hours of my youth playing Elite on a BBC Micro, using cassette! The game is already looking good, but my time is more precious these days so I can't really get into lots of games.

Thank you for taking a look, to be honest I just wanted to see if it could be made at all - and surprisingly it worked incredibly well. I might be looking at a whole suite of games in future with Hive or Bee rewards - because it feels like games that let people earn tokens will help draw more users to the platform.
I've not really got into vibe coding, but it does seem powerful. Getting the economics of a game right is no easy matter, but maybe AI can help with that. You don't want earning to be too easy or people will exploit it.
To be honest I was amazed that Claude Code managed to build straight off Keychain log in, have the game store the progress to the game hive account, and connect both rewards payouts and purchase of in game buffs to Hive Engine. That really makes the possibilities endless to what people can create connected to Hive - the only limit is the ideas you can come up with to ask Claude Code to create. I am very conscious that I am giving away my own Bee in rewards - Claude wanted to be far more generous but if you are not careful as the player numbers grow so does what you are giving away - my idea was to encourage participation not just randomly give away loads of tokens.
