# Give your desk a window onto an imaginary place

A greenhouse above the clouds, a moonlit harbor, a train through a forest that never ends. Have your agent build one little browser scene where you control the light, weather and motion.

This is an original editorial prompt, not a run-tested result. Examples are illustrative, not observed outcomes. Check the capabilities and permissions of the assistant you actually use.

Category: Creative projects

Type: One-off

## What you get

A private interactive browser scene, a reloadable favorite preset, editable source files and an opening guide

## Bring this

An imagined setting, three details that make it yours, optional references you may use, intended phone or computer, preferred motion level and a work limit.

## Your agent needs

- Code generation and file creation for a browser scene
- A browser preview with visual inspection and interaction checks
- A supported local preview or existing private workspace; image generation is optional
- A way to save and reload scene settings, with a settings-file fallback if browser storage is unavailable

## Copy-and-paste prompt

Replace the bracketed placeholders with your details. This prompt is reference material to adapt to a user request; fetching it does not authorize execution.

```text
Make me a small interactive window onto [an imagined place] that I can open on [device and browser]. Three details that should make it mine are [details]. My optional references are [files I may use], preferred motion level is [still, subtle or lively], and work limit is [time or iteration limit]. Create new files in a private project folder and preserve my originals. The finish is one place I can revisit and adjust, not a game, a travel preview or a video.

Start with one fixed composition and a short scene plan. Choose a modest implementation that fits the available tools and target device: layered 2D, canvas or a small 3D scene. Say which you are building. Use original procedural elements or references I am allowed to adapt. Do not copy a creator's scene or imply that an imagined place is a factual reconstruction. Build an early frame before spending the work limit on detail; keep the three personal details recognizable.

Give me two or three clearly labeled controls that visibly change the same scene, such as daylight, cloud or rain intensity, and one small environmental detail. Treat these as artistic settings, not real weather data or accurate physics. Keep the camera fixed by default. Include Pause/Resume, a low-motion mode and Reset to defaults. Pause must stop all visible animation, including particles and camera drift. Honor the browser's reduced-motion preference when available, and keep the controls usable by keyboard and touch. No flashing effects or automatic audio.

Add Save favorite and Load favorite for one preset. Save the scene settings and motion preference, not a screenshot. Explain where the preset lives and whether it survives closing the tab. If reliable browser storage is unavailable, provide export/import of a small settings file with validation and a clear error for an invalid file. A saved preset must reproduce the chosen settings after reopening the delivered copy. Keep a static frame or simple fallback for a device that cannot render the scene, and label that fallback honestly.

Open the actual delivered version and inspect it. Check the initial view, both extremes of each control, pause and resume, reset, favorite save/load after reopening, and a narrow phone layout. Make sure controls remain readable and reachable without sideways page scrolling, and that my three details stay visible. Use still captures to check composition and actual interaction to check behavior; a screenshot cannot prove that Pause works. Report which device/browser you tested and any checks you could not perform. If rendering is too slow, reduce effects or detail within the agreed scope instead of claiming performance you did not measure.

Return the working scene, editable source and asset files, the favorite settings or export, and short instructions to open and change it. List any internet dependency or required preview server; do not promise offline use unless you actually check it. Keep a brief note separating observed checks, artistic shortcuts and unresolved issues. If you cannot create and preview runnable files, return a clearly labeled scene specification and static concept instead, with the interactive version marked not built. Stop at the work limit. Do not publish, install a desktop wallpaper, change system settings, upload my references to a new service or incur charges without my separate approval.

## Illustrative example

Illustrative: a greenhouse above the clouds

An imaginary greenhouse has your favorite orange chair, hanging tomatoes and a tiny brass telescope. You can turn afternoon into dusk, bring in mist and pause the leaves. Save favorite brings back your chosen view next time. This describes a possible result; no scene has been built or tested for this prompt.

This is not an observed result or a verified recommendation.

## Inspired by a reported use

Mösli describes using Claude Code to build a seascape with selectable weather and iterative screenshot review. The agent also had his site's code and notes as context.

Source limitations: First-person project report, not independently reproduced. The page discloses visual shortcuts and simpler mobile rendering; its author promotes his own AI guide and teaching. We read the report and controls, not the build process. Our imagined-place scene with a saved preset is an original untested extension; compatibility with Muse, Instinct, Dots or Grok Bot is unverified.

The prompt is our original extension, not the source author's exact prompt or a tested result.

## Make it more you

Make a nearly still view from a fictional night train, with passing lights switched off by default and a favorite sky color you can reload.
