Godot Idle Clicker Template

A complete idle/clicker game for Godot 4.7, built so your AI agent can turn it into your game.

The demo above is the template as it ships, with nothing added or changed.

CodePlate templates are written for coding agents such as Claude Code. Each one comes with a brief for the agent (AGENTS.md), step-by-step recipes and checks the agent runs after every change. We write the templates with Claude Code too. The placeholder art, sound and music come from our own scripts, which draw and synthesize them in code; no image, audio or music generation models were used.

What's inside

• "Crystal Mine": tap the glowing crystal for gems, and buy 8 machines that mine for you, from a pickaxe to a quantum rig.
• Milestones: own 25, 50, 100 or 200 of a machine to multiply its output, with a progress bar on every row.
• Golden crystals: random pickups float by. Tap one for a timed boost, shown in a boost bar, or a pile of instant gems.
• Upgrades and achievements: 11 upgrades, and 16 achievements, each with its own medal, a permanent bonus and some with one-time rewards.
• Prestige with real choices: ascend for stardust. Keep it for a production bonus, or spend it in the stardust shop: more production, a head start, stronger taps, better offline earnings, longer boosts, or an auto-buyer.
• Quality of life: offline earnings with a welcome-back popup, autosave, buy ×1, ×10, ×100 or MAX, numbers past 1e33 ("1.5aa"), separate music and sound settings, and a short skippable first-run tutorial.
• Look and feel: tap feedback (squash, glow, flying gems, popups, rings), and a portrait, mobile-first layout.
• Content as data: every machine, upgrade, milestone, event, achievement, shop upgrade and tutorial step lives in JSON files, the easiest content for an agent to edit.
• Free to ship: original placeholder art, sound and music.

For your agent

• AGENTS.md: the brief, with 13 step-by-step recipes and a full content reference.
• A pure economy core with headless checks for every rule, and save migration with a test against a real old save.
• A pacing simulator. A bot plays the game fast-forward (tapping golden crystals, ascending, spending stardust). The checks fail if the first machine, every machine, the first ascend or the second run miss their target times, or if prestige stops paying off.
• A screenshot tool that can fast-forward, ascend, spawn golden crystals and show the tutorial, so the agent can see what it changed.

Use it with your agent

1. Unzip this folder where your project will live.
2. Install Godot 4.7. Optionally set the GODOT environment variable to its path so your agent finds it at once.
3. Open the folder with your agent and say something like:

This is an idle game template. Read AGENTS.md, then let's make it mine: you tap a big cookie and buy grandmas, ovens and factories. A golden cookie instead of the golden crystal. First ascend after about 20 minutes.
