GPT-4 Mini Game - Ghoul City - Version 1 🎮🤖

Ghoul City is a simple side-scrolling video game that I created entirely with GPT-4 and Midjourney.

To create Ghoul City, I pretended to not have any coding background and instead let AI handle all of the coding and debugging. 🧵👇

The goal of Ghoul City was to see how difficult it would be to create a simple video game for someone with absolutely no coding experience. I got the idea to try this out from @icreatelife fantastic tutorial on creating video games with AI.

To start, I modified @icreatelife prompt to work better with a side-scroller. I found that the more direction you provide to GPT-4 in the initial prompt, the less bugs you will run into later on.

So MAKE SURE you are clear, concise, and very detailed in the initial prompt.

Once GPT-4 starts to do its thing, it may not produce all of the code in one generation. If that happens, just prompt GPT-4 to continue generating.

Also my GPT interface may look different because I have the Snack Prompt Google Chrome Extension on! Shout out @realchasecurtis

Once you have the code generated, you can use the website OpenProcessing to implement the code, Midjourney to generate the images, RemovalAI to remove background

MJ prompt: 16 bit video game [Asset Name], side profile, 16 bit game sprite, highly detailed, white background --v 5

I used this same process to create the bullets, platforms, explosions, and character movements (jumping and crouching).

See the ALT for the background prompt

It would be a lot of fun to continue building Ghoul City with input from you folks. Add any suggestions and/or changes in the comments and I will try to use GPT-4 to implement them!

That is all for this thread but if you found this useful let me know and please retweet!😁😁
