opus 5 test

also, this may obvious, but just in case it helps anyone, this was a great example on how, even if you don't ever learn a single programming language, learning how to *think* like a programmer can help you get more from AI in this case, I asked it to replicate the aiming style of Star Fox, but, after several attempts, I couldn't get it to work. turns out there is a very specific way which it must be done, and Opus just had no idea. no matter how much I asked, it kept failing. so, I decided to play the original game and observe how it actually worked. then, I just wrote down everything I could observe. I passed that to the AI, which immediately got it right! the prompt itself was very poorly written (see below), but it doesn't matter, because the secret sauce was there

Do a barrel roll

thoughts compared to fable?

it is better at the things anthropic paid attention to, including coding apparently, but worse at all the millions of small intangible things that make a big model feel like a big model it is also 10x faster which is a leap on its own

agreed, no big model smell

how many tokens did this use? was it able to make this for under $20? $50?

made in bend2 ? kekw

Twitter the past week: Coding an N64 game in an afternoon and getting sub-1k likes

I literally just played this last night too lol. (Star fox 64)

fable 5 result on pretty similar promt but he also added online and way more different things (I made it month ago)

catchy background music

I mis Star Fox as well

@threejs Congrats? You replicated a video game from 30 years ago?

Omgosh… this is actually SO COOL!!

Looks like ready player one is coming in a few years.

lmao why would anyone waste time learning how to "code"

Pretty on point

So smooth animations 👀 opus really is the king right now Which reasoning mode did you use and how long did it take to generate this?

Looks just like mine 😑

oh shit you could make a retro starfox-inspired game with this

Very cool sound effects

Between Fable and Opus 5, which one has better design in terms of UI, UX, and overall taste?

Finally getting to try it out tonight. This is cool!

I missed your old detailed reviews of new models

the creatures look a bit familiar🤔this is awesome!!!

do you reckon its good at research?

you should revisit this to bench astra/fable5.1 same prompt, side by side comparison if you don't mind burning some tokens that is

já pensou em trabalhar com isso? mt bom

Since Nintendo keeps remaking the same game, taelin decided to launch starfox 65

wow, this is so cool! I am trying to build simulations right now, and this will come in handy. I've been working on sims since Nov, and I tried in Jan '26 to build one, but the models couldn't make anythign better than a simple pixel grid. Excited to start ripping Opus 5 and see how realistic it can make the simulations. I think you need something that looks visualy appealing to get people interested in what you're building, so this is very exciting!!

What stack did it use?

pure html5 + three.js

This is kinda insane, beats the hell out of game demos I've been seeing

with bend ?

how much did you spent on that?
