Take a break.
Play Pong against your AI.
The platform ships a live canvas Pong game: you vs. your AI, difficulty-tuned, with Lux on commentary. Three steps, four vibes, and she talks trash the whole time.
// how_it_works
A real game, inside the AI platform
The Arcade is a full canvas Pong implementation — not a text game, not a simulation. The AI paddle reacts in real time, tuned by the difficulty you select in the setup modal.
Live canvas rendering
Pong runs on an HTML5 canvas element inside the platform. Smooth 60fps rendering, real ball physics, and an AI-controlled right paddle that adjusts its reaction speed and accuracy based on difficulty setting.
AI-difficulty opponent
Easy gives the AI slower reaction times and occasional misses. Medium is genuinely competitive. Hard uses predictive tracking — she aims for where the ball will be, not where it is. You'll notice the difference immediately.
3-step setup modal
Step 1 selects the game (Pong). Step 2 sets difficulty. Step 3 picks the match vibe — which controls how Lux talks during the game. The modal pattern mirrors the main mode setup flow for consistency.
Lux on commentary
Lux generates live commentary during the game based on the vibe you selected. Playful means light chirps and celebrations. Competitive means trash talk. Snarky means dry one-liners. Hype means everything is a moment.
Accessible from game mode
The Arcade button lives in the game mode topbar alongside the question-game type selector. Switch into game mode, hit the gamepad icon, and the setup modal fires. No separate page, no navigation required.
Built to add more games
The arcade modal is tile-based — game 2, 3, and 4 slot in as additional tiles in Step 1 without changing the modal architecture. Pong is the first. The system is ready for more.
// match_vibe
She adjusts her personality
to match your choice
The vibe setting controls the AI's communication style during the game. Same skill level, same paddle speed — different personality. You can be playing the same Hard difficulty game in a completely different emotional register depending on which vibe you picked.

Work is done. Pong time.
The same platform that manages your time, CRM, and task boards also ships with a fully playable Pong game. That's just what we build.
