This is super, super cool!
I was experimenting with a similar idea recently with the help of o3-mini-high. I talked it through my idea for an algorithm, and it implemented and rendered it in 3D with no manual intervention (although I did prompt it a number of times):

It's not perfect yet because I stopped playing with it, but it was improving significantly with each iteration.
Fun fact, it implemented a working version of perlin noise correctly from scratch instead of pulling it from a CDN or something as part of this, for the terrain generation.
- fingerlocks 2y agoCurious, when you do these exercises, is for entertainment or learning? If the latter, do you find it still worthwhile to read the blog post of this thread, since you didn’t implement anything yourself? It’s a journey versus destination question.
- elliotbnvl 2y agoBoth! But more for entertainment right now, since I already know how to build most of what I ask for and it’s more about the final product and being able to rapidly iterate and realize ideas. I’m finding a lot of what I enjoyed about programming is the thing I make (although the journey is also pleasant), so I feel significantly more capable with AI as another tool in my toolbox. As Simon Willison said, it lets me knock out all the little tech projects I fantasize about but just don’t have the time or energy to build myself. It’s a huge force multiplier.
