 Have you ever wished you could create a fun, playable game without writing a single line of code? With Grok 3 and Replit, you can turn this wish into reality in just minutes.

​
What you’ll build

In this guide, you’ll learn how to:
  • Create a functioning brick breaker game using AI
  • Publish your game online with zero coding knowledge
  • Combine Grok 3 and Replit to build real applications
  • Share your creation with friends through a public URL

​
What you’ll need

Before getting started, you’ll need: That’s it! No programming experience, no special software, no complicated setups.

​
Building your game step by step

1

Generate your game code with Grok 3

Ask Grok 3: “Help me create a brick breaker game with HTML.” Grok 3 will quickly generate all the HTML code needed for a functioning game. Don’t worry about understanding the code—that’s the beauty of this process!
2

Set up your Replit environment

  • Log into Replit - From the homepage, create a Node app - Create a new file called game.html - Paste the code Grok generated into this file Replit’s Workspace makes it incredibly easy to manage your files and see real-time updates.
3

Configure your app with Replit Assistant

  • Go to Assistant in Replit - Type “serve the game in @game.html” (the @ symbol mentions the file) - Select enter Replit Assistant will automatically configure the app settings, install any needed dependencies, and set up a server around your game in index.js.
4

Test your game locally

After applying all the changes, your brick breaker game will be running in your browser. You can play it right away in the Webview to make sure everything works properly!
5

Publish your game to the internet

  • Select the Publish button - Name your project (e.g., “brick-breaker-grok”) - Let Replit handle all the technical publishing details - Wait about two minutes for publishing to complete Replit’s Deployments system takes care of setting up servers, configuring domains, and ensuring your game runs smoothly online.

​
The result: Your own publicly available game

Once published, your game is accessible to anyone through a public URL (like brickbreakergrok.replit.app). This isn’t just running on your computer—it’s a Replit App on the internet that anyone can play!

You can even monitor your published app to see how many people are playing your game and how it’s performing.

​
Why this matters

This simple demonstration shows how dramatically technology has evolved. Just a few years ago, creating and publishing a game would have required:
  • Learning multiple programming languages
  • Understanding web servers and hosting
  • Dealing with complex publishing processes
Today, you can do it all through conversation with AI and a few clicks. Replit is the fastest way to go from idea to app.

​
Take your game further

​
What will you build next?

The brick breaker game is just the beginning. Using the same approach, you could create:
  • Interactive quizzes
  • Simple productivity tools
  • Personal websites
  • And much more!
