Do I need an account to publish what the AI builds?

No. ArcadeLab uses Creator Codes (like ROCKET-WOLF-COMET-73) instead of email and password. First time you publish, ArcadeLab generates a code for you automatically.

What if the AI's output doesn't work?

Paste the error or describe what's broken back to the AI and ask it to fix. The loop usually takes one or two iterations. ArcadeLab shows a live preview before you publish, so you'll see what's wrong before going live.

Which version of Phaser does ArcadeLab use?

Phaser 3.70.0, loaded from cdnjs. If your prompt produces code that references an older or newer version, ask the AI to target Phaser 3.70 specifically.

Can the AI use Phaser plugins or extensions?

Only what comes with the Phaser 3.70 core. Plugins distributed as separate npm packages won't work in the single-file sandbox. If the AI suggests a plugin, ask it to inline the equivalent logic or use core Phaser features.

Can the Phaser game load images?

Not from external URLs — the iframe sandbox blocks network requests. Either generate sprites procedurally with this.add.graphics() (recommended) or base64-encode small images inline and load them with this.textures.addBase64().

How do I prompt Claude or ChatGPT to make a Phaser game?

Phaser is a 2D game framework that works beautifully as a single HTML file. ArcadeLab auto-injects the Phaser CDN, so the prompt below tells the AI not to include its own CDN script tag (a common mistake that causes double-loading).

Build a complete single-file HTML game using Phaser 3. Use only the global `Phaser` namespace — do NOT include any CDN script tags (ArcadeLab loads Phaser automatically when listed in the header).

Requirements:
- All JavaScript and CSS inline; no external files
- File under 500KB total
- Must work at any viewport size — use Phaser.Scale.RESIZE or equivalent
- No network calls — no fetch, XHR, or WebSocket
- Generate any sprites procedurally with add.graphics() or make.graphics(); no image URLs

Add this ARCADELAB header at the very top of the file (before <!DOCTYPE html>):

<!--ARCADELAB
title: [Your Game Title]
description: [One short sentence describing the game]
libraries: phaser
emoji: [single emoji that fits]
color: [red, orange, green, blue, purple, pink, teal, or gold]
-->

The game should: [DESCRIBE YOUR GAME — mechanics, controls, goal, art direction]

Output the complete HTML file. After the code, tell me: "Copy all the code above, then go to arcadelab.ai/publish and paste it in."

Notes: Replace the bracketed sections with what you want. The more specific your game description (mechanics, controls, win condition, art direction), the better the output. If the first result has bugs, paste the error back to the AI and ask it to fix.
