Optional Idle “Flappy” Mini-Game While Codex Runs

Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Dec 13, 2025 by SammyReifel Closed Dec 14, 2025

What feature would you like to see?

Add an optional idle mini-game (Flappy Bird style to start) that appears only while the Codex agent is actively running and no input is required. It should instantly disappear when Codex asks for permission or any prompt, and when the run completes. Default off.

Additional information

Agents nowadays can run for a long time (multi-minute to multi-hour runs), and the UI is basically “waiting” for big chunks of that. A small idle mini-game would make those long stretches feel way better without pulling people out of the terminal.

Also, once the framework exists, you could support other tiny games (Snake, Tetris, 2048) or even a “zen animation” mode, all with the same rule: only show during true idle, and hide immediately on any prompt or completion.
