Simon Willison experimented with Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5 Max to create a game called "Tree Appreciator." The game involves identifying subtle differences between two algorithmically generated trees, incorporating music, animation, and achievements. Willison noted that explicitly asking Claude to make the game "fun" yielded surprisingly effective results, with the model taking over three hours to develop the interactive experience. AI
