How I coded a video game without knowing how to code. (In 2 Seconds).

Good day Surfers! I know… getting our email is one of your favorite moments, only second to that dolphin thing you do with your hand outside the car window.

So here’s the juice!

You know, programming use to be the HOT thing you wanted your kids to learn… um.. yeah, that just changed.

Seriously, why would anyone want to learn programming now? Can someone reply to me and let me know?

So let’s set the stage:
I just wanted to build a pong game, I thought maybe this would take me a few tries, nope… one try, it worked.

Here’s my exact prompt:

build a simple pong game where I am the player on the left i click and drag the mouse to move the paddle and the computer player is on the right. Make sure the ball speed is slow enough to make the game easy.

  1. This new AI model is incredible at single shot prompting. Simply meaning, the AI has one chance to get it right. I wish I could express in words how un-believable this truly is. It’s one of those experiences you just have to try for yourself. You just type what you want, and it works.

  2. Claude 3.5 is extremely good at figuring things out, even if the answer isn't obvious or easy. It can connect ideas and use clues like a detective to find solutions. This is some serious reasoning power.

  3. It excels at tasks, like interpreting charts and graphs, and can accurately transcribe text from IMPERFECT IMAGES. It’s also super fast at consuming and understanding lots of information at once.

  4. Best of all it’s totally free!

Now don’t get to lost in this graph, the simple point is Claude 3.5 just took the win in a serious way!

Next, let’s get into something you can try now.

Single Shot Prompt Using Claude 3.5:
create a retro game of snake, where the keyword arrows let me control the snake.

You know… they say an important trait of successful entrepreneurs is they are not afraid to ask for what they want. So here I go… if you know anyone else that wants to learn how to ride this AI WAVE with us please let them know about The AI Surfer. Karma points in route!!!

Here are more of the craziest examples I could find on the power of this new AI model.

Seriously, go try this new model out for yourself, it’s free.. would love to see what you make.
