I mean, yeah everyone is talking about chatgpt, how it’s used to generate content and it has many applications.
I’ve used it so far for client work, getting ideas, videos and stuff.
But more recently I heard from a friend that he used it to code in python for website scripts and yes I’ve used chatgpt to simulate code as a non-programmer myself but didn’t have very much success with it.
My childhood dream was to create a game through code but I just didn’t have the mental capacity to wrap my head around Visual Basic and stuff, tying a graphical user interface and all that to code.
As it’s a Sunday and I wanted to give myself a little time to explore.
There was a learning curve to get the game rolling, installing stuff on my mac and trying to figure out how text and GUI works with Python.
So I’m going to skip all of that and have some content created for that another time.
I had an idea so I started off with a ball being able to move from left to write.
Then I instructed chatgpt to let the ball jump.
Then I experimented with adding an object in the screen, like a slope.
That didn’t work out too well.
Then I added some walls, and it started to look pretty darn interesting.
Soon after my ball is now having a double jump power.
Then I added another wall from the top.
Added unlimited jumping via spacebar.
Then it turned out to be like a basic flappy bird kind of game which I’m totally surprised that I could code it with chatgpt especially with extremely limited knowledge of Python and compilers etc.
This is how it looks like below and it’s not perfect but it WORKS!
