Interactive crowd evacuation simulation

The author says they gave Claude Opus 5.5 and Astra the same prompt to build an interactive crowd evacuation simulation and observe where crowd movement jams.

Prompt optimization tips

1

Specify editability

State which objects must remain separate, named and editable; otherwise a visually convincing shell may still be unusable.

2

Close the test loop

Ask the model to run the scene, inspect visible failures and repeat until concrete frame-rate, interaction and layout checks pass.

3

Stage long builds

For large worlds, split the work into districts, assemblies or milestones and approve each section before expanding scope.

Imagine It. Shape It.
