The day after Unity shipped its official plugin for OpenAI Codex, I gave it a 337-pixel game menu mock and asked for a real main menu. It delivered one that looked finished. Then I made it check the menu against my UI rules, and the menu that looked done turned out not to be.
Before I open Unity or Godot, I build the mechanic in Three.js. It takes an afternoon, runs in a browser, and generates a URL I can text to anyone for real feedback. Here is why this is now my mandatory first step.
