Show HN: Remaking Unreal engine in Rust for coding agents
Hi HN! I'm kevin, cofounder of https://machinesatplay.com, a multiplayer 3d gaming engine for codex/claude code.
TLDR: we're rebuilding unreal engine without the editor in rust meant to be used through the CLI. its open source/MIT. You prompt your favorite coding harness to create a game, and it'll give you a .machinesatplay.com link
Some multiplayer games built with it:
cubg: claudeunknownplayerbattle ground: https://pubg.machinesatplay.com/ car soccer: https://benchmark-rocket-league-claude.machinesatplay.com/
here's a 4min demo: https://www.loom.com/share/e3e3a37f52b54405a6fd89da079fb1c2 source code: https://github.com/machinesatplay/game
Why not use unreal engine/unity/godot?
the approach to making 3D games right doesn't fit agents. you download this bulky editor, and drag and drop node-based / visual editing tools to code, create 3d objects, shaders, animations. with machinesatplay, the editor is files/folders and command line which is the DX that agents love.
Why rust?
I picked rust instead of c++ or typescript bc it moves more validation to compile time instead of runtime. it still is quite performant, has wasm support, and can target native desktop gpu/mobile gpu. downside is compile times, which im still figuring out how to address this. currently we use bevy, avian for physics, and lightyear for prediction/rollback/networking
How do I use it?
1. pick your favorite coding agent: claude code, codex, opencode, etc. 2. paste in the prompt from the landing page. 3. iterate on a game. maybe /goal it against a screenshot 4. then mach deploy it, and you get a link to it
I'd love to get y'all feedback on this. its still early and focused on multiplayer 3d. thanks for reading

Ask HN: Are functional programmers more upset about how good AI is at coding?
One might expect this since functional programmers pride themselves on the elegance of their code while programmers using hybrid languages just want to get the code working — elegance of the implementation is not that important to them.
