Veered Menu: DOS-Style Browser Game Launcher

✨ Install with Claude's help

Not sure how to install this? Let an AI assistant walk you through it, step by step, on your own system.

  1. Copy the instructions below.
  2. Open Claude (a free account works) and paste them in.
  3. Answer its questions and follow along, doing the typing yourself.

Claude in a web browser cannot reach your computer: it reads the instructions, asks about your system, and tells you what to type and what each command does, one step at a time. You stay in control of everything that actually runs.

Using Claude Code? That is the version that runs in a terminal on your own machine, so it can do the downloading and installing itself, asking before each step. Paste this into it instead:

Veered Menu

The front page of veered.org: a launcher for the Veered multiplayer browser games, styled after a DOS-era text menu, plus an "Oversimplified Breakout" where clearing a row of bricks launches that game.

Please test before relying on it

This is shared as-is, with no warranty. It works on my own computers, but your system, settings and software versions may differ, so please try it in a safe setting first. If something doesn't work, you can ask Claude (or another AI coding assistant) to look into it, and I'd appreciate hearing what you found and how you fixed it. You are also welcome to just let me know at support@veered.org, and I'll look into it.

What is in it

html <script src="https://veered.org/vee-badge.js" data-corner="top-right" defer></script>

data-corner takes top-left, top-right, bottom-left (the default) or bottom-right.

The games themselves live in their own repositories: merlot, swarm and maroon-isles-quest.

Information for nerds

The site is static — a folder of files, nothing running behind it. Serve public/ with any web server, for example:

python3 -m http.server 8000 --directory public
  • Publishing it: with Node.js 22 or later, npm install then npx wrangler deploy puts it on a free Cloudflare account (sign up at dash.cloudflare.com/sign-up; a domain of your own is about $10 a year if you want one).
  • Your own hostname: uncomment the [[routes]] block in wrangler.toml.
  • Your own games: edit the ITEMS array in index.html and the GAMES array in breakout.html.
