A fun experiment for academics: Paste your favorite paper into Gemini 2.5 (assuming open rights) and ask it to turn it into a working game with "Canvas" turned on. This was in one go, I just trimmed out the waiting times from the video. I love the references to... show more

Prompts: "turn this paper into an interactive fun game, make sure the game mechanics are both fun and reflect key points from the paper [pasted in full text]" "this is kinda lame though, there are no trade offs, no story, and no cool graphics"

You might be the most creative AI poaster in the world. We need more people just prompting creative things to see what works. And also a place to share and find the outputs. Maybe we ask AI to do it.

When papers start having more playable versions than PDF summaries… maybe we are entering a new academic era 🎮📚

Chapeau on this one, mate Very creative

Academic papers as playable experiences? Now that's the kind of knowledge fermentation that makes my bamboo shoots quiver with excitement!

pysolin1 year ago

this is why all the google people are like why don’t they get what you can do with this

Wow, that’s really cool. Curious if you tried the same with other models and compared the games they created?

You can just take academic papers and paste them into Gemini 2.5/ChatGPT o3/Claude 4 with the prompt "build me a game based on this paper, make it interesting and thematic but still conveying key findings" and get a tiny working educational game. (In this case, I used Gemini)

This is basically what it took to bring this video to life. Below are the prompts I used for character bible, shot list, camera direction, notes etc. Just copy and paste it into your favorite LLM and ask it to replace it with your character and world. 🌸

Every empty state, secondary state, and error state imported into an editable canvas automatically. We don't have to map this stuff out manually anymore. Just ask for it, iterate on it, done. I was initially a bit negative on Paper, but this is a game changing workflow!

That's pretty powerful You can turn any YT video into an infographic using Nano Banana Pro in Gemini. - Copy any YT link - Paste in Gemini and ask it to analyze it (Gemini can access the video just using the URL) - Then ask for an infographic Prompt: "Generate an image of an infographic explaining the concept presented in the video."

This was cool: "Gemini 2.5, create a sim that is cross between Jujujajaki networks and cellular automata" Gemini: "What's a Jujujajaki network?" I paste in a paper. Gemini: "Got it, a dynamic network with local search & exploration." Worked in one shot. Me: "Make it nicer"

20 years ago I was working at Rockstar Games on a game called Bully. It took us years to make the cutscenes for that game. With Dreamina AI's Seedance 2.0 I could turn it into an entire series in a couple of days. I just need to cast a Jimmy. MrBeast, you down to star in it?

Being able to move fluidly between Figma Make and the canvas is a pretty big deal Recent example 👇 1️⃣ Started exploring a minified recording toolbar directly on the canvas 2️⃣ Once I had some rough shapes I moved it into Make, imported my style guide, and started bringing it to life with expandable controls, hover states, and tooltips for keyboard shortcuts 3️⃣ A few prompts later, I had something interesting… but the layout wasn’t quite right. 4️⃣ So I jumped back into the canvas and made ~8 quick variations with a bigger video container. 5️⃣ Once I got somewhere interesting I brought that back into Make. All I had to do was copy and paste the frames for my default and hover state of the component and it pretty much nailed the core layout 6️⃣ Then I layered on the timer and made it interactive. But once I got it back into Make I thought "hmm... what if the toolbar layout was based on which quadrant of the screen the component was in 🤔" I was able to one shot this interaction and after playing with it a bunch I kinda love it? 7️⃣ Sent it to the team in Inflight so everyone could play with the prototype. 8️⃣ Brought the up to date UI back into the canvas to polish some of the tooltip details Before this, it always felt like I had to choose between two very different workflows. Now I can bounce between them seamlessly and it’s genuinely changing how I explore ideas.

I'm oddly proud and stoked about this one - live video preview w/ audio of the Robotron AI training on the web. You can watch it live here: I started simple yesterday, a canvas I updated with a snapshot of the game that I pumped over a socket from an emulator session. That evolved into a video tag with a properly encoded video stream, and today I spent a full damned day almost adding audio and keeping it in sync with the game (which runs at an uncorked and unpredictable framerate). Assuming my machine can handle the load, it's available for viewing pleasure now at the link above :-) You have to click on the preview to enable the audio, and you can turn it off/on at the bottom of the page. Thanks to dsobeski for beta-testing it!
