The four games were built with Fable and inspired by existing titles, with the developer seeking feedback and considering mobile app store release.", "body_md": "I created [https://whatpetshouldiget.com](https://whatpetshouldiget.com) to help my kid understand the responsibilities of pet ownership. It just grew from there and I wanted to make it a destination site where people can learn and have fun.\n\nMy kid helped me design four pet themed arcade games (done using Fable). Drawing lots of inspiration from existing titles, with some original tweaks, and incorporating of their suggestions along the way. We pulled these together and you can try them out here: [https://whatpetshouldiget.com/play.html](https://whatpetshouldiget.com/play.html)\n\nThere's loads of room for improvement (mobile playability is something I'm targeting now), and I'd welcome any suggestions. Also wondering if it's worth trying to get these into the app/play store.\n\nThank you!\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48872300](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48872300)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-i-used-claude-to-make-some-free-fun-pet-themed-browser-arcade-games", "canonical_source": "https://whatpetshouldiget.com/play.html", "published_at": "2026-07-11 14:18:22+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-11 14:34:58.839955+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-tools", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Claude", "Fable", "whatpetshouldiget.com"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-i-used-claude-to-make-some-free-fun-pet-themed-browser-arcade-games", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-i-used-claude-to-make-some-free-fun-pet-themed-browser-arcade-games.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-i-used-claude-to-make-some-free-fun-pet-themed-browser-arcade-games.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-i-used-claude-to-make-some-free-fun-pet-themed-browser-arcade-games.jsonld"}}
