Labs
Where the next generation builds.
Cadena Core Labs is the workshop of the family behind the firm — experiments in software, AI, and games, built by the youngest members of the Cadena Core bench. Shipped early, refined in public.
I
History & Empires
A turn-based world-conquest strategy game rendered on a live D3 world map — build armies, take territory, rewrite history. Designed and built by David with AI as a pair programmer, from map projection to combat logic.
II
Chess
A complete chess game built in one long conversation with an AI — Stockfish opponents rated 250 to 3200, a ranked mode with a persistent rating, tournament clocks, move-by-move accuracy analysis, and 24 verified tactics puzzles. Read how an 11-year-old discovered that testing is part of building.
