Prompty, build games with GPT (early prototype)
Hey guys, I’ve been playing around with this prototype for a way to build games using GPT. Some details: - It’s an absolute hack right now; expect bugs and user unfriendliness. Also UI is not fixed for mobile yet (use desktop). - It’s top-down, 2d. You view the world from above, and you can move around by clicking and dragging the world. - It’s using gpt-4-turbo under the hood, and I’m outputting typescript code, which gpt will self-repair when there are type errors. - Here’s a simple example game: https://prompty-58a21.web.app/dune/play So far I’ve been quite impressed…

In plain words
Prompty is an early-stage prototype that uses GPT-4 Turbo to generate games. Users can create top-down 2D games by interacting with the AI, which outputs TypeScript code and performs self-repairs for errors. The tool is designed for desktop use, currently rough around the edges, and generates sample games that demonstrate AI-assisted game development capabilities.

Hi HN, Today we’re launching GPT-4 answers on Phind.com, a developer-focused search engine that uses generative AI to browse the web and answer technical questions, complete with code examples and detailed explanations. Unlike vanilla GPT-4, Phind feeds in relevant websites and technical documentation, reducing the model’s hallucination and keeping it up-to-date. To use it, simply enable the “Expert” toggle before doing a search. GPT-4 is making a night-and-day difference in terms of answer quality. For a question like “How can I RLHF a LLaMa model”, Phind in Expert mode delivers a…
Claude Artifacts but creating real web apps2024 · gptengineer.app · ▲189Hey Hacker News! Launching gptengineer.app into beta today. It's like Claude Artifacts, but: - you can edit the code in your fav IDE (two-way github sync) - installs npm packages - automatically picks up build and runtime errors and fixes them - very fast, built with rust The full stack capabilities are built on supabase (prefer to not have to handle auth + user data at this point so this is owned by the user) The seed for this project was an open source experiment, posted about that previously here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36422730 Would love feedback if you give…
