SEASON ZERO
Roadmap · Live coding MVP
Develop a livestream-ready MVP with live coding battle rooms.
Contestants work in embeddable surfaces (Replit, StackBlitz, etc.); this release is the broadcast cockpit—dual code panels, audience votes, and AI narration—wired for stream—not a sandbox execution core.
- Live coding battle rooms
- Real-time contestant code panels
- Audience voting during matches
- AI match explanation
- Tournament and replay flow
Season Zero concentrates on spectacle, early-access intake, and a stream-ready arena—auth, payments, and hosted runners layer in as the first launch bracket scales.
How it works
Same roadmap, tighter rounds.
Three beats choreographed for launch: duel-ready rooms, audience payloads, AI match narration, bracket arcs, and replay energy—all shipping as an early-access, livestream-ready MVP while founding competitors and sponsors onboard.
Votes detonate twists
The crowd jams new constraints mid-round—nothing theoretical, everything visceral.
AI keeps everyone sharp
Match explanation stitches tactics for chat and co-streams—framed alongside tournament rails and replay drops so the season reads as one arc.
Audience powers
They vote. The matchup warps.
Not vanity polls—these payloads hit timing, tooling, and televised nerve.
Add Time Pressure
Bleed the clock
Crush their breathing room until fundamentals surface.
Reveal Hidden Test
Drop the veil
Surface a stealth test—the arena watches the pivot live.
Force Explanation
Force narration
No silent refactoring—explain the gambit before the next compile.
No Built-ins
Kill the cheats
Strip cuddly builtins; raw logic earns the handshake.
