Latest @windsurf_ai vs @cursor_ai test, both using Claude 3.7 Sonnet: A race track.
Prompt: Let's build a simple game where a user drives a car around an elliptical track using html, css, and javascript with an express server to run the page. They will use their keyboard with the keys "W,A,S,D" to control direction. Every lap registers a new lap time and you see your current lap time, latest lap time, and fastest lap time on the screen.
Similarities:
- Designs are identical
- Keyboard functionality works
- Both show instructions on the page
Windsurf
- Cannot turn unless you are moving
- has track boundaries, but they are invisible
- track boundaries are also very tight which means you have to be very precise with your driving
- Timer doesn't work
Cursor
- Can turn even if you aren't moving (easier to drive)
- No track boundaries
- Precise marker to track start and end lap times which works, but because there are no track boundaries, it is easy to cheat
Next test will be a mobile game built using Expo.
