Grok 3 used to clone Breakout game — fabled windows developer shares prompts and code

Grok3-Breakout.

The developer who created seminal and essential Windows components like Task Manager, Zip Folders, and erm... Windows Pinball has shared a game he made in xAI's Grok 3 today. Breakout, a ball-bouncing brick-breaking arcade title initially released by Atari in 1976, was the target of Dave W Plummer's latest adventure in code. However, this time, the development was done at incredible speed using just a few choice 'prompts' and the power of Grok 3.

Spoiler alert: Plummer did indeed share the code on GitHub. You can review, download, and tinker with it yourself. He only needed to make a few prompt revisions to get Grok3-Breakout up and running in an acceptable form.
