JamBench - Theme-Only Generation (Claude Code): leaderboard

JamBench (2026) tests project-level game programming on the Godot engine with real Game Jam projects; outputs are checked deterministically in headless mode, and the board is the percentage of projects that compile and then run for 30 seconds without crashing. Here the model builds a complete 2D game from a jam theme keyword alone, working inside the Claude Code agent harness; higher is better.

Metric: L3a runtime pass rate (%): share of generated Godot 4 projects that pass file-integrity and headless compilation checks and then run 30 seconds in headless mode without crashing; Task 1a: only the jam theme keyword is given; 50 real Game Jam themes, three runs each; the model writes a complete 2D Godot 4 project from scratch; Claude Code as the agent harness, iterating with the Godot toolchain; higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 5 models tracked.
