Modoki Engine
Modoki is a TypeScript game engine and Unity-style visual editor for 2D, 2.5D and 3D mobile games. What makes it different is that it's built for AI agents. Through an MCP server, an agent like Claude Code can do almost everything a human can in the editor. It can read the live game world, edit scenes and prefabs, press Play, run builds, and check its own work with live data and rendered frames.
