Free Version Limitations
While the free version of Gemini has coding capabilities, it is quite limited. Your credits will run out after just a few prompts. The Advanced (Pro) version is required for heavier and more sustained technical tasks.
Advantages of Reasoning Models
Use Gemini Advanced if you need the AI to understand the deep mathematical logic behind a simulation, rather than just generating empty code.
Prompts
Visual Ecosystem Simulation
Target:
Gemini Advanced
Create a virtual ecosystem simulation using Python with different species. The simulation should be visually interesting and allow me to adjust variables like initial tree count or species population, and see the results over time with a reset button.
Step by Step
How to Run Code Simulations in Gemini Advanced
- Go to the Gemini website (gemini.google.com).
- Click on the model dropdown at the top left of the screen.
- Select 'Gemini Advanced' to access the model with superior reasoning and math capabilities.
- Enter a prompt to build a visual simulation (e.g., an interactive ecosystem).
- Wait for Gemini to generate the Python code and display the simulation window directly within the interface.
- Use the 'Play' or 'Start' button on the simulation window to see the data or visual movements.
- Adjust parameters or input values (such as the number of species or trees) in the input boxes provided within the simulation.
- Click the 'Reset' button if you want to restart the simulation with new settings.
- Use the built-in 'Python Sandbox' in Gemini Advanced to iterate or debug the code if the simulation doesn't run as expected.
