Agent Arcade
Agent Arcade is a terminal game utility that lets users play games while waiting for AI coding agents to finish.
Agent Arcade provides small terminal games to play while waiting for AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex to finish tasks. When the agent finishes or needs approval, the game pauses, sounds a beep, and displays a status banner. It opens beside your agent as a popup or split pane depending on your terminal. The tool runs locally with no tracking, storing best scores in a local folder. It supports Snake as an initial game, with controls mapped to arrow keys or WASD.
