Mollick Shares GPT-6 Astra 3D Zork Adaptation

Ethan Mollick, Associate Professor at Wharton, posted on X that he prompted GPT-6 Astra to turn the 1977 text adventure Zork into a full 3D action-adventure game. Mollick posted that the output kept the original plot and puzzles, added fight scenes, and built characters and environments in Three.js. A playable first-person version is available at zork-underground-empire.netlify.app. The project is open source on GitHub. Mollick noted the AI made many judgment calls to keep the result interesting, and that players can still be eaten by a Grue.
