It is no secret that o3-mini is an amazing model for coding. It can one-shot interactive games and simulations. Here are 4 amazing examples of it:
Shooter Games:
These are the most obvious candidates for these types of models. A bunch of folks have managed to create fun shooter games with o3-mini with less coding and many times in one shot (depending on their prompt).
OpenAI’s o3-mini-high is now available for use. It’s incredible. I’m now seeing one-shot, perfect code, for pretty complex requests for full programs. Very fast too… pic.twitter.com/QiUv8T1bUa

Solar System simulations:
This is without a doubt one of the coolest uses of o3-mini that I have seen. It is an interactive solar system simulation with planets moving around the sun.

Excel Games:
Here is another game that was made with o3-mini. It is an automated pong game using Excel VBA that can be completed in one prompt.
は…？「o3-mini」、Excel VBAで自動で動くピンポンゲームを１プロンプトで仕上げる。
「ついに来たo3-mini！一部ではo1よりもコーディング性能が高いらしい。…よし、無茶ぶりしてみよう！」
と思って命令してみた結果、まさか自動で滑らかに動くピンポンゲームを作成。

Water Simulation:
Here is another amazing example of o3-mini completing tasks that would take hours and days in minutes. This one was about a water sim with an orbiting camera in Blender 4.3 using a python script.
Asked o3-mini to make a quick water sim with an orbiting camera in Blender 4.3 using a python script. This took a few tries and some tweaking so it’s not a one shot. I’m optimistic this will improve down the road. Prompt below. pic.twitter.com/VRvkJX8Yzc
