AI Coding Tools Compared: ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Cursor, Lovable and AI Agents
Continue with the workshop writeup
Open the canonical pages, recording, materials, and code repo.
We compare AI coding tools by asking them to help build the same small app: Snake in React. The session is a comparison, not a single production build, so the walkthrough follows the tool categories: chat applications, coding assistants and IDEs, project bootstrappers, and agents.

The comparison
The same app appears in several workflows:
The workshop code includes two Vite React projects. snake-chatgpt keeps
the game in one component and is useful for seeing what a chat app can
produce from a short prompt. snake-claude-code splits the page shell from
the game component, adds score, start and restart flow, WASD controls, and
a walls versus pass-through mode.
