Elder-plinius – The Fable 5 Showcase

A developer used a single prompt in Claude Code to exhaust a week's worth of Anthropic API credits in one day, spawning approximately 275 parallel Claude Fable 5 subagent runs that produced 57 self-contained creative web demos. Each demo is a single index.html file with zero dependencies, covering generative art, simulations, physics, worlds, sound, and play, all built and QA-verified by fleets of Claude Fable 5 agents.

This repo is the answer to a simple question: "What happens when you prompt Fable to use up an entire week's worth of Claude usage credits at once?"

57 self-contained creative web demos — generative art, simulations, instruments, and procedural worlds — each one designed, built, polished, and QA-verified end to end by fleets of Claude Fable 5 agents running in parallel, in a single day and from a single prompt.

Every demo is a single index.html

file with zero dependencies — no build step, no CDN, no frameworks, no network requests. Open any one directly in a browser.

Collection Examples
Simulation & Life
Boids murmuration, Primordia particle-life, Physarum slime mold, a reef, a tidepool ecosystem, an L-system garden
Generative Art
Fractal Voyager, Oracle (I-Ching), Arcana (tarot), Glassworks stained glass, Loom geometry, Shodō calligraphy, Mandala
Physics & Motion
An n-body Orbital sandbox, Event Horizon (black-hole lensing), Chladni cymatics, Clockwork gears, a Wavelab ripple tank
Worlds & Skies
Aurora, an infinite gothic cathedral, Halcyon (a cinematic ocean), Metropolis, Terra Minor (a pocket planet), Hexcrawl maps
Sound & Music
Prism (a light synth), Harmonia (a playable circle of fifths), Midnight Radio, Swarm Symphony
Play & Curiosities
Nebula Tilt pinball, a falling-sand terrarium, a maze observatory, Noir Terminal, Chronos (a clock zoo), a zen rock garden

Single prompt in Claude Code -> Fanned out ~275 Claude Fable 5 subagent runs across background multi-agent workflows — each demo flowed through a design → build → enhance → QA pipeline — until the week's API credits were spent. Thumbnails were captured by rendering each demo in a headless browser; the gallery embeds them as data URIs so it stays completely self-contained.

ok i have a challenge for you! i need to use up my anthropic api credits for the week in one day, and ONLY on fable 5!! lets see if we can't build something that leverages our claude code cli thats authed to build a bunch of epic demos for fable 5 of all sorts of different complex cool creative projects! leverage fable 5's full creativity and intelligence until our credits are gone!! tons of stuff in parallel!

Built with Claude Code.
