Prompt one: imagine a game, like Galaxians but using tractor trailers, and as a first person shooter. Three.js in index.html Result: https://gisthost.github.io/?771686585ef1c7299451d673543fbd5d https://gisthost.github.io/?771686585ef1c7299451d673543fbd5d Prompt two: No, let's try it again with an army of bagpipers. Result: https://gisthost.github.io/?60e18b32de6474fe192171bdef3e1d91 https://gisthost.github.io/?60e18b32de6474fe192171bdef3e1d91 I'll be honest, the bagpiper 3D models were way better than I expected! That game's a bit too hard though, you have to run sideways pretty quickly to avoid being destroyed by incoming fire. Here's the full transcript: https://gisthost.github.io/?73536b35206a1927f1df95b44f315d4c https://gisthost.github.io/?73536b35206a1927f1df95b44f315d4c

There's a reason why bagpipes are banned under the Geneva convention!

    Wolves work together to bring down large prey and with their large digestive tracts they "wolf it down". Foxes have a small digestive tract (makes them lightweight so they can jump and pounce on prey) and can't even eat a whole rabbit so they eat a bit and bury the rest under a layer of dirt (to hide it from other animals) and leaf litter (to hide it from birds.) A fox will lose an occasional cache to another fox but will occasionally find a cache from another fox so it evens out. Foxes in a given territory usually have some family relationship so it works from a sociobiological level, it's their form of "social hunting". For me this week it's been about practicing autonomic control, I've been building biofeedback systems and getting to the bottom of heart rate variability and working towards a biosynchronization demo. Also working to start an anime theme song cover band (Absolute Territory) where I am clearly the "kitsune" (AT-00) but more of a band manager than a mascot. I've got the all-purpose guitarist (AT-01) but I'm still casting AT-02, AT-03 and such. ... and boy do I have a technique now to find out people and places that are identity driven and those who are not.

        Places. One interesting discovery is that people are really dour about it at places that hire a lot of enby's [1] but overall enby people who are by themselves or working at places where 10% or fewer people are enby really dig somebody who represents "oceanic reservoir of calm" [2] with a kidult presentation of self. [1] "non-binary" [2] fox old enough to have earned nine tails

Can it make it work on mobile?
- simonw 10mo ago
  Yes, but I didn't bother here (not part of the original prompt). You're welcome to drop the HTML into a coding agent and tell it to do that. In my experience you usually have to decide how you want that to work - I've had them build me on-screen D-Pad controls before but I've also tried things like getting touch-to-swipe plus an on-screen fire button.

That is deeply impressive. The code is quite readable. I appreciate that it even got the "joke" with bagpipers. I know it's just recycling other people's jokes, but it's still quite the feat. I have never used one of these. I'm going to have to try it.
