Now Even Dogs Are Programmers: An Experiment That Surprised Everyone

A blogger under the name Caleb Leak conducted an unusual experiment: he taught a neural network to write computer games using… his own dog as the source of commands. The animal simply pressed its paws on the keys, and the artificial intelligence turned this chaotic set of symbols into full-fledged game code on the Godot engine.
The main participant was a Cavapoo puppy named Momo. The owner placed a Bluetooth keyboard on the floor, connected to a Raspberry Pi 5 mini-computer. Every time Momo stepped on the buttons, a special device dispensed a treat for her.
But the presses were not in vain. A program written in the Rust language transmitted the pressed characters (like “skfjhsd#$%”) to the Anthropic Claude Code neural network. To prevent the algorithm from dismissing the gibberish, the author came up with a clever trick: he explained to the AI that it was working with an eccentric game designer who communicates using encrypted commands. The neural network’s task was to decipher the messages and turn them into game code.
The plan worked. It took between one and two hours to create a game. The code was written in C# for Godot 4.6.
One of the results was a project called Quasar Saz — a game with six levels and a final boss, where a heroine named Zara fights against distorted sound. The graphics are styled after the 80s.
The experiment showed that modern neural networks are capable of generating working code even from completely meaningless requests.
