ChatGPT 6 Astra is WILD!

0:00Can chat GPT Astra clone Minecraft in one prompt including mining, crafting, fighting, farming, and animals? Let's find out. Now, Astra is supposed to be really good at long complicated tasks and using apps on my computer. But, can it really build a complex game in just a few hours? So, here's the prompt. Your goal is to clone Minecraft, create a new folder to store everything. Do not stop until the clone is fully playable, looks just like Minecraft, and even crafting works. Then I went hiking and let it run for hours. About 15 minutes in, it already built all this. I've got a forest, my character, some inventory,

0:33but now I want to see what breaks. Well, the first problem is my hand. It's enormous. There's a whole world to explore, but my hand is blocking half my screen. Astra eventually figured it out and fixed the camera and moved the starting point. Okay, awesome. Now, 20 minutes in, we can take a log and turn it into a pickaxe. Sweet. Surely we can handle a plant, right? Nope, mining a plant crashed the whole game. But, Astra figured this out itself, fixed it, and made sure it wouldn't happen again. Then after 45 minutes, it made a pre-built level called Meadowvale. It has a nice cottage, some crops, and a path through

1:07the village. Inside there's a chest and a bed and even a mine in the town. Really, really cool. Next, Astra tested a full day of survival, crafting tools, mining, eating, and sleeping. And now we're at 55 minutes, guys, and everything's kind of working. It's all coming together. Like I'm actually living in this Minecraft village. We've got a nice little fireplace, my little house, bed, some food. But then Astra decided our village needs physics. And 70 minutes in, we've got flowing water, falling sand, and gravel. Meadowvale's looking good. So, let's head underground. Okay, great. Now our cave has lights. Now I can actually see where I'm going, and combat works, too. Look

1:44at the sword hitting the zombie. It's actually knocking it back. That's physics. And then it comes after me again. This looks good. This is what combat's supposed to feel like. And we've got animals, too. You can see this little sheep following food through the village with their lamb. Uh, it's pretty cute. Now, let's fast forward to 195 minutes. Now, I'm walking and jumping in armor way better than before. And look at these little trees grow. That's so cool. This is a time-lapse that Astra captured. But, individual features are one thing. Everything looks cool, but does everything work together in real

2:16gameplay? So, let's start with crafting. Does it work? All right, here you can see it's taking planks, sticks, and now we've got a finished tool. So, that's pretty cool. Crafting does work. Next, let's try harvesting wheat and replanting the first three patches. Those little seedlings are the next crop. Oh, that's so cool. So, that looks like it works. Next, we're going to go into the mine. All right, looks like we can break coal and stone and collect the loot. Now, we can build stuff. So, let's try using the cobblestone and torches to

2:40mark the entrance. Okay, here we go. It's happening. So, we've got three blocks, three torches. Not a masterpiece, but all the main features actually work, guys. Obviously, this is not all of Minecraft, but we can gather resources, craft stuff, farm, and build. Astra's come a long way in just a few hours, and I am super impressed. So, how did it actually build all this? Is this AGI? Is this magic? What's going on? I took a look under the hood, and it turns out ChatGPT wrote the game in JavaScript, so you can play it right in your browser. This free library is called Three.js, and it draws the 3D

3:16world you're seeing. This other free library called Rapier handles the physics. For example, when you drop a pickaxe on the ground, it should land on the ground instead of falling through it. Then, ChatGPT used Blender, an app on my computer, to make the models. Not run the game, but make the models. It created these blocky characters and pixel textures, then exported those into the game, so that our characters could walk around and wear cool armor. It also used existing Minecraft recipe data, so it didn't have to invent crafting recipes from scratch. So, Astra was not

3:47creating everything from scratch, right? It was choosing the best tools to use for the job, writing code, checking what worked, and fixing what broke in a loop for hours and hours until it got it right.
