Project: [Tesla Bros.](https://greenzeta.com/project/tesla-bros/)

**Tesla Bros.** went from a passing idea to a playable game online in the time it took to watch one episode of **MST3K**. It’s a retro platformer in the spirit of NES *Super Mario Bros.*, starring the new Tesla Roadster flying car. I worked with GPT 6.1 Sol in Codex on four original stages, cold-gas jet jumps, charge cells, service bots, and a plasma-firing boss, all while the bots riffed on a terrible movie. What will you hit first—a question crate, a service bot, or a gap you were sure the Roadster could clear?
