<Steps>
  <Step title="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!
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](/category/workspace-features) makes it incredibly easy to manage
      your files and see real-time updates.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](https://docs.replit.com/replitai/assistant) will automatically
      configure the app settings, install any needed dependencies, and set up a
      server around your game in index.js.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](https://docs.replit.com/replit-workspace/workspace-features/webview)
    to make sure everything works properly!
  </Step>

  <Step title="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](https://docs.replit.com/cloud-services/deployments/about-deployments)
      system takes care of setting up servers, configuring domains, and ensuring
      your game runs smoothly online.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 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](https://docs.replit.com/cloud-services/deployments/monitoring-a-deployment) 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.
