Bomb Game Generator

How it started
One classroom idea. Five generations of AI experimentation.
The Bomb Game began in October 2024 as an unsuccessful but useful ChatGPT experiment: five words, an automatic two-second loop and a random explosion. It was not yet a teacher-controlled classroom game—but the central idea was alive.
Each new tool helped move the idea forward. Claude made it playable, Gemini made it theatrical, Grok shaped the Wellesley 4.x system, and Codex agents helped turn 5.1 into the polished game and generator teachers can use today.
-
The rough spark
Five body-part words changed automatically every two seconds, with a ten-percent chance of an explosion. Barely a game—but this was where the mechanic was born.
Play the first prototype -
A playable loop
A Start button, a learned-word score and a five-second “everyone hide” countdown gave the teacher control and turned the experiment into a recognisable activity.
Play the Claude version -
The third iteration
Colourful cloud cards, an animated fuse, screen shake and embedded sound made the game self-contained and far more theatrical on the classroom display.
Play the third iteration -
The Wellesley system
Version 4.4 introduced the Wellesley presentation, card and bomb counters, celebratory firecrackers and the first serious path toward a reusable generator.
Play version 4.4 -
The current edition
Version 5.1 brings richer motion, stronger Wellesley branding, a more spectacular bomb sequence and a teacher-ready generator—all still open to the next revision.
Play the current game
The archive also contains dozens of lesson-specific vocabulary editions. This timeline shows one playable representative of each major design generation. That is the real rhythm of vibe coding: try it with a class, keep what works, and build the next version.
