How this is ranked
AI models ranked by Design Arena Elo in the game-development category — building playable games and game mechanics, judged head-to-head by humans. Games are the hardest kind of generated code to fake: the result either runs and plays or it doesn't, which makes this ranking unusually honest about a model's ability to hold state, physics and a game loop together.
