Alibaba, a major Chinese technology company, released “Qwen4-Max-Preview” as a preview version of the Qwen4 series. Since it was available even on the free plan, I tried making a game with it.


Qwen4-Max-Preview is available through Qwen’s chat service. You can access the chat service using the link below.

After signing in to the chat service, select “Qwen4-Max-Preview” in the model selection menu in the upper-left corner of the screen.



This time, I’m going to make a lavish Breakout game that runs in a browser. Enter the following in the input field and send it: “Create a Breakout game that can run in Chrome for Windows. Render the stage in 3DCG, add plenty of lavish effects, and create it as a single HTML file.”


The reasoning is being carried out in Chinese.


It generated a 1,456-line HTML file in about 20 minutes.


I tried loading the HTML file in Chrome, but I couldn’t get past the loading screen.


I returned to the chat and explained that I couldn’t get past the loading screen, and it generated a corrected version of the HTML file.


This time, the title screen of the Breakout game appeared properly.


Below is a recording of me actually playing the Breakout game.I only gave one vague instruction—“Add lots of flashy effects”—and a single follow-up correction, but it turned into a properly playable, effects-packed brick-breaking game. The more you continue the conversation, the more it seems to improve.
