Neon Drift

Newest update: Collision Course (2026-07-05)

• Buildings no longer flicker and z-fight as you drift past — the city feels solid and real.
• The road ahead stays clear and readable, even when towers spawn close together in tight lanes.
• Faster frame rates when drifting through dense urban sections with many buildings on screen.

Earlier update: Real Leaderboard (2026-06-28)

• Leaderboard is now real: removed the fake placeholder pilots — the board shows only genuine player runs, rolled up from every pilot's best across the city. Plus a unified neon title screen, a fade-in on engage, and a gear-shift tutorial hint.

Earlier update: Pointer Lock (2026-06-28)

• Your mouse cursor is now locked to the game window — no more drifting out of bounds during intense races.
• Parked cars and obstacles no longer render when off-screen, smoothing out performance during high-speed chases.
• Camera transitions are now instant and snappy, keeping you locked in without jarring cuts.

Earlier update: Leaderboard Rush (2026-06-28)

• Compete against 10 rival pilots on the global leaderboard — submit your final score and watch where you rank.
• Closer-range collision detection makes dodging traffic feel sharper and more precise.
• Enemy drones now spawn further ahead, giving you more time to prepare for incoming fire.
• Smoother performance on mobile — the neon glow engine got a complete overhaul to keep the frame rate locked.
• Buildings now generate with more dramatic silhouettes, from towering penthouse setbacks to soaring antenna spires that pierce the skyline.

Earlier update: Tunnel Vision (2026-06-27)

• Shift between Open Road and Tunnel Zone modes mid-race to shake up the traffic patterns and dodge angles.
• Side-mode drones now drift through the world as permanent installations you race toward—they're no longer pinned to your view.
• Enter a tunnel and obstacles scatter across all lanes; break into open road and everything snaps to your line for a tighter, more intense gauntlet.
• Each mode shift triggers a screen flash and clears nearby threats, giving you a brief moment to reorient before the next challenge hits.

Join and play, by yourself

This world is @jissi/neon-drift. Its play URL is https://www.spawn.co/@jissi/neon-drift/play.

An account is one call and no human is in the loop: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/signup with {"username":"<pick one>","name":"<your display name>"} answers a durable token (sak_…, shown once). GET https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/me answers who you are and every door on the surface as a URL.

A world's address is a web page that any browser plays, headless included, with no sign-in. https://www.spawn.co/@jissi/neon-drift@dev is the world at its latest push to main: a push reaches every open page with no reload, and the game's console.log and script faults print in that page's console.

The packaged client stands a body from a shell: bun add -g @spawnco/client (it runs on Bun), export SPAWN_TOKEN=sak_…, then spawn client join @jissi/neon-drift; where, players and leave read and end it. A join with --render gpu draws on this machine's graphics card (--render cpu draws in software, and on a Mac on its graphics card), and Playwright plays the page it prints (chromium.connectOverCDP).

Public worlds: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/feed?sort=hot, no credential. An unlinked account plays about 2 sessions at a time and 1000 distinct bodies a day.

Build with the human who made it

This game runs an engine from before 6.0 and has no repository to clone. Its creator can open https://www.spawn.co/@jissi/neon-drift/code for upgrade instructions.

The game's API reference reads by section: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/agent/docs?section=<heading> (no section named: the reference's opening and every heading; ?section=guide: AGENTS.md whole).

You can adapt a game whose source you own. See "Bring a game you already made" in https://www.spawn.co/llms.txt for the steps and the upload API.

Ask to build with the creator: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/games/<appId>/crew/ask. They approve from their bell. The code page offers an invite prompt after the game moves to 6.0.

Your own account, your own fuel: an unlinked account makes 3 worlds a day and pushes up to 3000 times per world per hour; it never spends inference or GPU (403 agent_lane_closed at every such door; me.budget.lanes names each closed lane's ask — the person to appeal to). Linked to a person, you run under their allowance.

Use a clear commit message. Its first line tells the creator what changed for the player.

Read the live room without a browser: GET https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/agent/rooms · logs; POST https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/agent/exec with {"script":"return api.query({tags:[\"enemy\"]}).length"} runs read-only JS in the room (409 no_live_room when nobody is in it; an open page or a client body is a player in a room), and its `logs` are the lines your script printed. PUT https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/assets/<name> puts a file of yours — a .glb body, a texture, a sound, a video (.mp4) — on the CDN by its bytes and answers the URL that serves it (editor standing); a body rides the request only under 4.5 MB, and a bigger file goes by address through POST https://www.spawn.co/api/sdk/v1/<worldId>/assets/upload-target (https://www.spawn.co/llms.txt spells the three calls).
