GPT-6 Astra Light solving the hardest level of my game in real time, no speedup! 17s of thinking + 9s of solving 😳
for reference, humans take around 5min to solve one of these grids

codex just solved the hardest level of my game using browser use
it read the board, worked out the path, and clicked through the 7x7 grid: 49 moves, 0 errors.
still feels kind of unreal to watch an agent play it end to end 🤯

https://t.co/OkAAAFvukl had text-only onboarding. A friend said “too lazy to read.” I replaced that paragraph with animations.

👥 New players now get it instantly.

For my game https://t.co/OkAAAFuWuN, I made a basic MVP to gather feedback and improved it until UX was perfectly smooth 💪🏼

[Loïc Boursin @LoicBoursin]

I spent hours perfecting the UX on my game https://t.co/OkAAAFuWuN and got this feedback on Reddit :

« Trying to find some constructive criticism here, but cant think of any. I really enjoyed this. Easy to get into and just about the right amount of hard to master. » 😍

I took 2 days to build the MVP of FlashPopTiles.
I took 2 weeks to make it work.
I took 2 months to refine each detail : animations, intuitive UX, clear tutorial, daily release at 00:00 UTC

20% of time was used to build the game, 80% to make it smooth!
