Developer @edwinarbus asked Opus 5.5 to build a game inspired by the Antikythera mechanism, the "first computer" — with all code written by the model.
- Scale: 2,047 fish, 25,000 grass blades, 47,000 particles, and a faithful 30-gear, 1,923-tooth model of the mechanism
- Everything visual and audio is procedurally generated in real time using three.js, in-browser
- Ships as a single 3MB HTML file, playable as a Claude artifact
A striking demo of frontier models generating complex interactive 3D content in one shot.
