For this year's Robot Games challenge, builders were asked to make a playable game starring Devoxx's robots in the Kinepolis venue, using AI as their co-developer. We received nine submissions, and several were so good that we couldn't pick a single winner. So we're handing the stage to all of them.
In this lunch session, each creator gets four minutes for a live demo and a quick look behind the scenes. What did they build, and how did they direct the AI? Which tools did they use, and what did they have to fix by hand? Expect a mix of technology and styles: 3D worlds in Three.js, hand-built 2D engines, a text-mode BBS door game, procedural chiptune music and AI-generated art. Some builders worked with Claude Code, others with Codex, Copilot or Grok.
Come to see nine very different games, learn what actually works when you build with AI, and tell us which one deserves your vote.
