Ethan Mollick asked GPT-6 Astra to turn Zork, the classic 1977 text adventure, into a full 3D action-adventure game.
The model kept the original plot and puzzles, added fight scenes, and built all the characters and environments directly in Three.js. The playable result is a striking demo of one-shot generation of complex interactive apps by the new model.
