Same prompt face-off: Claude vs Grok build a Spy Hunter game, neither playable
lemire · x · 2026-09-23
Daniel Lemire tested Claude and Grok with one prompt: "write a playable Spy Hunter arcade game in a single HTML page." His verdict: neither is truly playable. Claude stayed closer to the top-down arcade original; Grok went more ambitious with a 3D approach. He shares the prompt and stresses it's a single test, not a benchmark.
