Astra High AI generates playable Balatro clone in minutes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A software engineer has demonstrated the capabilities of the Astra High language model by using it to generate a playable clone of the game Balatro. The process involved only two prompts: one to create a browser-based version and a second to enhance its visual appeal with 3D graphics and surreal effects. The resulting game, while unbalanced due to a lack of detailed gameplay mechanics in the prompts, was functional and bug-free, impressing the engineer with its rapid development and even generating its own images.
