Really proud to show off the 3D dungeon game I built for @OpenAI using Codex, GPT 5.5 (and 5.4) and new plugins/skills I worked on. This game was created in about 2 work days, including art and audio, etc. This doesn't even show all of the dev tools that are built in.
GPT-5.5 is here - two demos I wanted to share and are featured in the launch post. One is a playable 3D dungeon arena prototype built with Codex and GPT models — from game architecture and combat systems to HUD feedback, environment textures, and character dialogue. The other is an interactive visualization of live USGS earthquake data, combining a global map, timeline, and depth profile to explore recent seismic activity. Fun launch, checkout out more in our official blog ➙

You can't convince me that Adam22 didn't invent @angular now. I had people like "No, he doesn't look like Misko" and I'm like...

I can't unsee it. Adam22 is evil-alternate-universe @mhevery Movie promo voice: "In a world without Angular..."
Replying to @kenwheeler
Wait... I know why he looks familiar. It looks like @mhevery if Misko spent time in prison.

I've left most of what I want to say in the VoidZero blog post. But worth repeating: Thank you @voidzerodev team for trusting me and joining me on this wild ride. I am very proud to have assembled such a talented team and even prouder of what we have built together. Thank you all our investors for believing in my vision, in particular @caseyaylward from @Accel who led both our Seed and Series A. Thank you the @vite_js community. Vite and VoidZero wouldn’t have come this far without your trust and support. We will continue building with all of you, together, in the open. And thank you to everyone that made this happen at @Cloudflare. Looking forward to working with you all! voidzero.dev/posts/voidzero-…

This has been such a fun project to be a part of! So excited about all the work @benlesh has been doing with @thisdotlabs and @openai!
1/ At @ThisDotLabs, I built a Codex Plugin, called Build Web Data Visualization with DevEx Lead @coreyching from OpenAI. With this plugin, Codex uses image gen to design the app and then implements it really well. See the examples below. Claude can’t do this!🧵

11/ Final clip: A geospatial visualization with a lot of features cooked up in a few hours! The thing I’m hyped about: Codex can now help think visually before it builds visually.

12/ It’s been fun working with @OpenAI at @ThisDotLabs. This project sits right in my lane: AI, TypeScript, and data visualization. It’s been a blast turning that overlap into something OpenAI and Codex can actually use.

Codex anywhere and everywhere, all the time. Now your Mac doesn’t have to be unlocked for Codex to use your computer. From your phone, Codex can securely use apps on your Mac, even when the screen is off and locked. developers.openai.com/codex/…

When I was a little kid, my mom wrote a game (copied from a C64 magazine) so she could practice typing. I've thought about it often over the years. Last week I recreated the game by vibe coding with @OpenAI Codex while watching a movie. Link in next post.

It's obviously hacked together, at this stage in my career, I don't feel like I need to prove my coding prowess to anyone. It works fine and my kids enjoy it. I also tried to get it working on mobile, although the graphics are a little small on a phone, IMO.
