No one was surprised when Google said its latest version of Gemini is capable of doing a lot more than its predecessor. Exactly to what extent, though, was surprising to me.

Still, that excitement only came after hearing that my editor had recreated the classic Minesweeper game with a simple prompt in Gemini 3. My interest was piqued. And after successfully creating my first simple game in a one-shot prompt, my gamer brain started firing on all cylinders.
