Build a browser driving school with Claude Opus when you cannot drive yet

@rocky_ganji, who says they cannot drive, asked Claude Opus 5.5 to build a manual-car driving school in the browser: clutch, gears, hill starts, junctions and a free drive around Abids, Hyderabad, with a tutor (“Captain Clutch”) that graphs your footwork when you stall. Six lessons plus phone/laptop controls; playable link is in the thread replies. Demo video in the post.
Try it yourself

Copy-ready prompt
Build a browser manual-driving trainer. Car: clutch, throttle, brake, 1–5+R+N, handbrake. Fail states: stall on fast clutch lift; grind if shifting without clutch; rollback on hills. Include 6 lessons and a free-drive map of [AREA]. Add a tutor that, on stall, plots throttle vs clutch over the last 3 seconds. Controls: keyboard on desktop; on-screen pedals on mobile. No accounts.
Watch out: Simulator only. Does not replace a licensed instructor or local driving laws.

In their words
I CAN’T DRIVE. SO I BUILT AN ENTIRE DRIVING SCHOOL. I asked claude opus 5.5 to build a game that is close to real driving as much as possible. It’s a manual car you drive in your browser: clutch, race, brake, gear stick and handbrake. It acts like a real car: Lift the clutch too fast → the engine stalls Change gear without pressing the clutch → the gearbox grinds Give a little race, lift the clutch slowly to the bite point → the car moves A tutor called Captain Clutch sits next to you and tells you every step. When you stall, he shows a small graph of what your feet did, so you can see exactly what went wrong.
