Creating a fake basketball league with Claude

I spent this whole weekend playing around with Claude.

At first, I just wanted to re-create the fake basketball league I programmed in Visual Basic in high school. I talked all about it here.

But after 15 minutes, I’d already re-created my original vision from 1998. 20 teams. Playoffs. Dynasties that ebb and flow.

So I decided to keep going. I added new dynamics - league expansion, offensive and defensive eras, teams that have an identity, relocation, and more.

I’m not exactly sure where all of this is going, but I thought I’d share the results of this weekend. It was fun. Thank you Claude.
