Did a quick demo with r/threejs , animating 120K light particles.

It did a really good job, though it took a few nudges to get there. My main issues are speed and cost. It was a bit slow to complete the task, and using the API via OpenRouter feels somewhat pricey. This demo alone cost me $7.49.

Still, very impressive. If only it could've worked a bit faster...

I was experimenting with Matt Shumer's Gauntlet Loop and shared a quick demo of an old favorite game, Worms Armageddon, the other day. It was built from a single prompt that kicked off the entire loop.

There's not much point in polishing or fixing it, though, since there are already excellent browser ports of the original. So I wanted to try something far more ambitious: GTA 6.

The first attempt failed spectacularly. It got stuck after generating little more than a basic 3D world. But after several additional loops and workflows, it eventually evolved into the very rough prototype you see in the video.

I think this can be pushed much further. With a better feedback loop, I believe something like this could eventually be built from a single prompt and produce significantly better results.

The key seems to be giving the agent much richer debugging information. Claude Code can't natively understand gameplay videos, so it extracts frames and reasons over those. That's somewhat useful, but exporting structured JSON describing the game state works far better because it can directly understand what's happening in the world.

So far, it has taken 22 hours and 86 agents to get here.

I'll keep pushing this experiment. I'm also considering improving the harness and migrating from pure Three.js to Babylon.js.

If you've been experimenting with similar agentic loops, or have ideas on how to push this further, I'd love to hear them.

It runs nicely in the browser: https://aifnet-public.b-cdn.net/games/worms.html

Idea is based on Matt Shumer Gauntlet Loop

The loop:

"
I want you to build a Worms Armageddon look alike game at the level of the most recent Worms Armageddon version. It should be utterly perfect, visually beautiful, with every single thing done at AAA quality—from textures to physics to anything you could think of.

Fan out sub-agents and have sub-agents tackle each one individually so that the game is utterly perfect. You should /loop on each item and have a separate sub-agent check it visually to ensure it looks triple A. That separate sub-agent should be a really harsh critic, and if it doesn't look triple A, it should keep going.

Don't stop until each sub-agent is utterly wowed with the quality when compared with the actual Worms Armageddon game. It should literally compare them side by side blind and say which one looks better. Do this in ThreeJS. /loop until it's utterly perfect. Fan out sub-agents and ultracode.
"

EDIT:

I am adding agent and cost analysis for those curious:

EDIT 1:

Just to make it clear the costs above are if the API was used directly. For me the cost was not much at all, like half of the limits for a full day (~10h) on Max (20x) plan. Not sure what will happen with the limits if everyone start using loops, which I assume will happen because those are insane.

Doing these historian vlogs with Seedance v2, it's really cool you can now tell a short story. Voice is great too, which is a big issue with many of the other models.
