  Looks like a fun take on the snake game and it reminds me a lot of Undertale. I think the lede is actually buried here though. The claim is that they were able to generate this game using zero shot prompting.

  > That creation is way more complex than I would have ever guessed -- and even more spectacular considering the prompt was only "Claude 3.7, make a snake game, but the snake is self-aware it is in a game and trying to escape and interesting things happen as a result" For Claude to come up with all those elements, especially the Matrix section, off of that simple prompt is blowing my mind.

  The title is also incorrect. It should be "Claude 3.7, make a snake game, but the snake is self-aware it is in a game and trying to escape"
