Description:

This session, hosted by , features special guest for a hands-on look at game development through the lens of disciplined AI workflows.

Darryl will kick things off with the building blocks of game development, from game loops and events to input and rendering, before diving into the real challenge: moving beyond one-shot vibe coding to architecting complete game systems with AI harnesses.

And then comes the fun part: we'll put it all into practice by building a modern 3D arcade game live, from start to finish, in just a few minutes.

Whether you're interested in game development, AI-assisted coding, or how more structured AI workflows can help you build better software, this session will offer a practical and entertaining look at what's possible when the two come together.
