@soucapi's father has been a metalworker for 35+ years and relaxes watching lathe videos. He used GPT-6 Astra with Three.js to build 'Mestre do Torno,' a lathe simulator game. Not one-shot — he iterated heavily on UX, UI, and the lathe model — but the Astra-generated base impressed him. Plans Play Store release by year-end.
