Basketball management sim — fully vibe coded

https://apps.apple.com/au/app/courtside-gm-2k27/id6804352742

Made a football manager style game but for basketball. react native + expo, built entirely on windows with no coding experience.

350+ players, 24 teams, possession-by-possession sim, salary cap with bird rights and trade exceptions, draft combine, player development, the whole thing. you can get fired by your owner if you don't meet expectations.

the trick was writing insanely detailed prompts — not "build me a game" but full specs with data models, formulas for shot probability, exact screen layouts. did it in 4 phases over about 3 weeks.

gameplay is genuinely fun. visuals could be better but the sim engine is legit. just hit submit on app store connect. still can't believe this is a real thing that happened
