Quoting Chris Lloyd

Read Original

The article quotes Chris Lloyd from Anthropic's Claude Code team, explaining that Claude Code is better understood as a "small game engine" rather than just a TUI. It outlines the technical pipeline: constructing a React scene graph, laying out elements, rasterizing to a 2D screen, diffing against the previous screen, and generating ANSI sequences for drawing—all within a tight ~16ms frame budget.
