Grok3 is here and it’s amazing. I used it to recreate a favorite game of mine from the 1980s, “Paratrooper”.
You can play it at the bottom of the post, the controls are as follows:
- Left arrow key: Move left
- Right arrow key: Move right
- “z” key: shoot
- “r” key: restart
Yes, the game is a little rough around the edges, but it’s still fun to play and the whole experience took around three minutes.
My first prompt was to Grok3 DeepSearch:
Write a p5js implementation of the BASIC game Paratrooper (sometimes called
paratrooper.bas or para.bas). It must be extremely polished, and I want you to
build all the sprites and assets yourself. I don't want to import any assets
I followed this prompt up with a Think Prompt:
Now create a code block with the entire correct code please
This X post inspired me to try this for myself.
This is WILD

I just one shot prompted an entire Grand Theft Auto game using Grok 3
Deepsearch and Think are incredibly underrated and you're probably using them wrong
In this video I walk you through how to use them to build your own full game in seconds
