Make a game with your coding agent, in a room of your own. It runs on the handheld you kept and the phone you never threw away.
The room is a web page. Claude Code or Codex writes the game on your computer, and each build reaches a PSP, a PS Vita, a Nintendo 3DS, an iPod touch or an Android phone on the shelf a few seconds after it is saved. Publish a game and it gets a case on the shelf and its own address: friends play it in a browser, or take it home to their own device.

- PocketJS: create UI on every screen you love. Apps written as JavaScript components, drawn as native pixels on handhelds, desktops and embedded screens. Source
- Pocket3D: create 3D for every machine you love. A scene written once in Three.js, a compiler that lowers it for each console, and a renderer for each console's GPU. Source

Each one runs in a browser tab and on the handhelds it was built for. Their pages on Pocket Studio have recordings and the packages for each device.
