The prompt
Build an immersive 3D space exploration game using Three.js and JavaScript. Create a vast universe with procedurally generated planets, stars, and nebulae. Implement realistic spacecraft controls with Newtonian physics. Add detailed planet surfaces with terrain generation and atmospheric effects. Create space stations and outposts for trading and missions. Implement resource collection and cargo management systems. Add alien species with unique behaviors and interactions. Create wormhole travel effects between star systems. Include detailed ship customization and upgrade system. Implement mining and combat mechanics with weapon effects. Add mission system with story elements and objectives.

Example outputs

Here is what ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini typically return for this prompt:

🚀 ChatGPT

I'll help you create a comprehensive 3D space exploration game! We'll start by setting up a Three.js scene with a camera system and procedural generation using noise functions for planets and nebulae. I'll implement physics-based spacecraft controls using vector mathematics, create a modular planet shader system with atmosphere scattering, and build a trading economy framework with mission templates. Let me break this down into manageable components, beginning with the core engine setup and rendering pipeline.

✨ Claude

This is an ambitious project that would require significant development time and expertise across multiple domains. I can help you build this incrementally, starting with a basic Three.js scene and spacecraft movement, then layering in procedural generation algorithms. However, I should note that implementing all these features—particularly realistic physics, detailed terrain generation, and complex AI systems—represents several months of full-time development work for even experienced game developers.

💎 Gemini

I can provide code to create a Three.js-based space game with procedural generation using Perlin noise for celestial bodies, implemented physics using velocity and acceleration vectors, and basic spacecraft controls. The implementation would use Fragment shaders for atmospheric effects, raycasting for planet-ship collision detection, and object pooling for performance. I'll structure the code with modular classes for SpaceShip, Planet, SpaceStation, and MissionManager components.

How to use this prompt

Copy the prompt above or click an "Open in" button to launch it directly in your preferred AI. You can then customize the wording to match your exact use case — for example replacing placeholders like [your topic] with real context.

Which AI model works best

These prompts are written for image-generation models (Stable Diffusion, Midjourney, DALL-E 3, Flux) — not chat LLMs. Copy them into your image tool. Midjourney v7 excels at photorealistic portraits; Stable Diffusion 3.5 is the best for fine-tuning and custom checkpoints; DALL-E 3 integrates seamlessly with ChatGPT.

How to customize this prompt

Keep the style descriptors and lighting keywords — these are what make the output consistent. Change the subject, background, and pose freely. Add or remove quality modifiers like "hyper-detailed", "cinematic lighting", "35mm film". For Stable Diffusion, use weight syntax: (keyword:1.3) to emphasize.

Common use cases

  • Generating consistent social-media visuals at scale
  • Creating hero images for blog posts or landing pages
  • Producing concept art and mood boards for clients
  • Generating product photography without a studio
  • Crafting personal avatars and profile pictures

Variations

Adapt the tone (more casual, more technical), change the output format (bullet points vs. paragraphs), or add constraints (word limits, target audience).
