🎮 Claude Arcade

Add classic arcade games to your Claude Code workflow! Press Ctrl+G anytime to toggle between coding and gaming.

⚡ Quick Start

Installation

npm install -g claude-arcade

That's it! Now you can use claude-arc to launch Claude Code with built-in games.

Configuration (Optional)

To enable the leaderboard feature, you need to set up your own Supabase project:

1. Create a free account at supabase.com
2. Create a new project and set up a leaderboard table
3. Copy .env.example to .env in the project root
4. Add your Supabase credentials to .env:

SUPABASE_URL=your-project-url
SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=your-anon-key

Note: The leaderboard feature is optional. Games will work without Supabase credentials, but you won't be able to submit scores.
