Make your agent play the game before it says done (free sample)

Play the game using the same inputs a player uses (key presses or taps sent to the game window), not by setting positions in code.
Complete one full round. Write PLAYLOG.md with what you pressed, what happened and every bug.
Fix the bugs, replay, and only then report done.

Scripted tests can pass while real controls are broken.

# Make your agent play the game before it says done

Free sample from Game Dev with AI Agents by PaperChaseWebb. Written for Claude Code, Codex and Claude.

## The problem

An agent can report a game as finished because a test script moved the player through the level. Real players press keys and tap screens. In one public comparison ([source](https://x.com/theSethian/status/2110440063821545479), credit @theSethian), the agent that tested with real controls found the steering was reversed. The faster agent that tested with a script never noticed.

## The rule to add to your agent

```text
When the game runs, play it yourself using the same inputs a player would use (key presses or taps sent to the game window), not by setting positions in code. Complete one full round. Log what you pressed and what happened in PLAYLOG.md. Fix every bug you hit, replay, and only then say done.
