2026 · Experimental

Procedurally generated 2D side-scrolling platformer used as a testbed for AI agent evaluation — levels generate on the fly, agents play them, results feed back into testing.

Overview

smolbot is a browser-based 2D platformer where levels are procedurally generated rather than hand-authored. The original motivation was to have a controllable environment for testing AI agent behavior — generate a level, drop an agent in, see what happens, iterate.

It doubles as a playground for experimenting with game feel, procedural generation algorithms, and how much complexity an AI agent can navigate before getting stuck.

What it does

  • Generates side-scrolling platformer levels procedurally at runtime
  • Provides a playable game loop for human or agent control
  • Designed as a lightweight harness for AI agent evaluation

Experimental — built for curiosity, not polish.
