 "question": "What are the best open-source repos for making games with AI coding agents?",
 "answer": "The best open-source AI repos for game development with AI agents right now are Claude Code Game Studios, Noobi.ai and Roqer. Claude Code Game Studios turns Claude Code into a full studio team with Godot, Unity and Unreal specialists; Noobi.ai turns a prompt into a playable Web or Godot 4 project on a Mac; Roqer builds and playtests inside Roblox Studio. For art, Aseprite AI Artist draws pixel sprites in Aseprite and H3 Game Sprites turns AI video into sprite sheets.",
