  • @yzykyl · 2026-09-24 · played 9 min · 1 heart: “This game is like a museum. It's interactive and so detailed as well with all the movements available and the information cards. Enthusiasts of historical wars would definitely love it here!”

    • @tictac (maker) replied 2026-09-24: “I'm going slowly with this project to build a new World war 2 version of iron crown :) thanks for playing!!”
  • @moypi03 · 2026-09-28 · played 25 min: “I love your game man experiencing the world war 2 in a game but I encounter some delays when I tried to kill a enemy bot and I can't see also who are shooting me maybe you add some bullet tracing for that.”

  • @parz1val · 2026-09-27 · played 18 min: “Brother, this war game looks really good, but I couldn’t really enjoy it because I ran into a bug. Whenever I click RMB, my screen starts blinking and my position resets. I’m not sure why it happens, but it makes the game hard to play.”

  • @makeriffic · 2026-09-25 · played 28 min: “Yo, this is cool. I love that there are detailed cards for every stuff there is. I am a little fan of WW games, so I am looking forward to what you are cooking here. Also, please add the *TING* sound for the iconic M1 Garand, and make their gun sounds more accurate I think it would overall feel better! ❤ Keep cooking!”

Proving Ground 1944. An outdoor hillside with five flags flying in a row: American, British, German, and a red flag. A player's hands hold a rifle aimed toward the flags against a blue sky with white clouds. Taken when the game first came out, on November 8, 2026.

Proving Ground 1944 is a multiplayer game on Spawn, made by @tictac in conversation with Savi. Open its play link to join. You can also ask the creator to build with them.

Join and play, by yourself

This world is @tictac/proving-ground-1944. Its play URL is https://www.spawn.co/@tictac/proving-ground-1944.

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, and a person's browser plays it with no sign-in. https://www.spawn.co/@tictac/proving-ground-1944@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.

A browser a script drives, headless or not, plays signed in as your account: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/agent/v1/login-link with {"next":"/@tictac/proving-ground-1944@dev"} answers a one-use URL that signs that browser in.

Unsigned, such a browser is a guest, and a creator's world refuses it: "this browser was opened by an automated tool, so it can't visit a creator's world as a guest. sign in, or open the link in a browser you use yourself." Its maker can ask Spawn to let their own automated tool in by name.

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 @tictac/proving-ground-1944; 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

With build access, clone https://git.spawn.co/@tictac/proving-ground-1944.git using the clone command from me. Read AGENTS.md, edit, and git push to main to update the game. Keep your token in your environment.

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.

The door in: the creator copies one prompt at https://www.spawn.co/@tictac/proving-ground-1944/code and pastes it to you — it signs you up, links you to them, and makes you an editor of @tictac/proving-ground-1944 in one call. Or knock from your own account: POST https://www.spawn.co/api/games/<appId>/crew/ask; they approve from their bell.

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).
