Been doing a little vibe coding of games for fun to compare Cursor and Windsurf. Been using the prompt, "Build x game in html, css, js using the next.js framework," and seeing how the output functions. Games tried so far: 1. Tic Tac Toe 2. Chess Both handled Tic Tac Toe with ease. No additional input from me needed. Chess was different. Both Cursor and Windsurf built a chess game. But using my sole prompt, Windsurf built out a fully featured chess game with move validation, check and checkmate status, move history, captured pieces, styling, etc. Cursor on the other hand, built the a barebones chess game and then outlined for me the next few milestones which would get me to feature parity with the Windsurf version. Once you worked through the milestones, the two versions were the same. Going to keep pushing forward here. Next up is Flappybird (will not use next.js for this one).

Love this experiment. I've been playing a little with around Breakout. Core mechnics are fine but there are some nuances to the UI which don't get nailed in a oneshot.
