Build a match-3 game from a single prompt
An author prompted Gemini 3 Pro once to produce a working Candy Crush-style game with a shareable link, and says a non-technical friend did too.
What they did
In the Gemini web app with Gemini 3 Pro selected, the author pasted one detailed prompt. It asked for a single-file HTML canvas match-3 game with no external libraries. The prompt listed swapping, match detection, gravity, refill, scoring, a move or timer limit, rising difficulty, sound and particle effects, and auto-running in the chat. The game appeared in an interactive pane, and a share icon produced a link.
How it went
The author says the game was playable in about 30 seconds and a non-technical friend got it working too. The author admits the code isn't perfect. No test results are given beyond playing it.
Worth knowing
The author says it was free at the time of writing and took 30 seconds to 5 minutes. The post is vague on follow-up tweaks, and its intro says Gemini 2.0 while the title says Gemini 3.
