Developer shares experience building Rhythm Slice, a Guitar Hero-style pizza game with zero-knowledge privacy contracts on Stellar, created during a gaming-focused hackathon using AI agents Claude and Anthropic to handle smart contract development and UI implementation.
A developer recounts their second participation in a Stellar gaming hackathon, where they built Rhythm Slice, a Guitar Hero-inspired pizza-themed game incorporating zero-knowledge privacy contracts. Working solo from home with AI assistance, they used Claude and Anthropic to navigate smart contract development with OpenZeppelin, implement on-chain point validation, and verify player interactions against music hashes. The project required integrating ZK contracts for privacy while meeting hackathon requirements, managing GitHub branches for parallel development, and creating presentation materials. The developer credits Telus Cooperative for educational support and emphasizes how AI agents specialized in different areas (Claude for contracts, Anthropic for UI) accelerated development when used strategically.
