Build a multiplayer 3D capture-the-flag browser game with Cursor and Gemini

@chongdashu built a fully multiplayer capture-the-flag 3D game with cartoon animals using Cursor and Gemini 4 Argon, after skipping earlier Gemini releases for game work. The game, Backyard Rascals, is playable in the browser at backyard-rascals.vercel.app. Video of gameplay is in the post.

Copy-ready prompt
Build a browser multiplayer 3D capture-the-flag game with simple cartoon animal characters. Needs: 3v3 teams, grab the flag, tag defenders, return to base to score. Deploy a playable web build. Keep art and controls readable on a laptop keyboard.
Watch out: Multiplayer netcode is hard; expect iteration. The live demo is the author's build, not ours.

In their words
I've been skipping Gemini releases for gamedev recently. They weren't the best. But Gemini 4 Argon is different. I built a fully MULTIPLAYER capture-the-flag 3D game with cartoon animals using Cursor. Play it: https://backyard-rascals.vercel.app
