Cursor-Gotchi

I was working with my brother on a different side project when we started joking about building some games. We both really enjoy clicker and idle games. They’re kind of a guilty pleasure of mine.

At some point, I jokingly said: “What if we build a Tamagotchi that feeds on AI tokens?”

Fast forward: I wanted to keep it really simple at first. I also wanted a way to see how many tokens we were blasting through and what the relative costs of our usage would be.

But then I ran into a problem: it doesn’t really work with the standard Claude or OpenAI Pro accounts. The only tool that gives me the data I need without extra setup is Cursor.

I also love the combination of Cursor and Claude. That’s pretty much my workflow these days: a few prompts, some agents, and a little while later things start working.

Now my CursorGotchi is running, and I don’t want the little guy to die.

So I guess I have to keep building.
