I Made a Game with CHAT GPT!

[@chillasslofi8962]

for your "continue" problem there's an easy way to get past it. Just use this prompt to get it to continue: "Without rewriting anything you've said previously, and with no preamble or introduction, please continue the code from the point you left off. Be sure to place all code inside a code block." Save this prompt onto a txt file, and just copy and paste it whenever you need it.

[@srirangagudimella2770]

that is a great tip 👌

[@chillasslofi8962]

@@srirangagudimella2770 Thanks. I had been using Chat GPT help me with the errors I was getting in my Gamemaker Studio 2 games. At one point, I just got it to completely rewrite a whole Step Event for me, and because of that I figured out what I needed to say to make it actually continue and not just write the same code over again. If you take the specific mentions of code out of the prompt, it can be used for everything. It's the best way I've found so far to get it to actually continue 99% of the time.

[@chillasslofi8962]

@@srirangagudimella2770 You can also set it up as a "Macro". When you start a new conversation give it the following rule. "When I type the letters PCYR, without rewriting anything you've said previously, and with no preamble or introduction, please continue the code from the point you left off. Be sure to place all code inside a code block." From that point on all you have to type is PCYR. (Please Continue Your Response).

I basically use ChatGPT when I get stuck, and it always helps me out to get it going on again. (I'm a Gameplay Programmer). It certainly is a great Tool for generating code, for Designing... and even for generating Cover Letters and adjusting the order and presentation of your Resume to apply for a Job Position (as Jason Weimann pointed out in his most recent 15 minute s video about these relatively new A.I. Tools).

[@CyberAngel67]

ChatGPT is great if you know how to use it, but it is very limited by what it knows and how it gets the details it needs, for example, I did this same thing with a controller. A basic 2D controller, and asked it to not only adhere to best practices, I defined that as making all variables private and serializable when it thought it had to be modified in the inspector. And that all variables and code had to adhere to the C# coding guidelines that are not only recommended by unity but also defined by Microsoft. I said that I wanted to use velocity over moving it with a transform. What I got back did not match what I asked it for. I took 20 chats going back and forth, all the time saying you are correct and then not doing what was required. In the end, I got a very basic 2D controller, that could do Coyote time, adhering to best practices and moved the player with velocity in Update (Yes, setting the velocity is not a calculation therefore does not need to be in FixedUpdate) that was important to see how well ChatGPT would handle what it returned. Anyway, I think I was about 200+ chats later, 2 days due to the limits in chats per hour. And I had something that I could have written in 5 mins. For new developers they wouldn't care and maybe go to the detail I went to to get it right, but it is important to note, that it does take an experienced developer to know and see what issues the ChatGPT does return. I also have a KZbin short that I can share to prove my point on the velocity if anyone is interested!

[@Betruet]

I'm glad you did this so I didnt have to. It's really interesting to see the full process and how honestly you had to have programming knowlege to get it to do the right thing. I think a true beginner would have alot harder time with the prompts, although as it imporves this may not be the case anymore. All that said I can defininately see how it could speed up project time for an intermediate programmer like me. Thanks guys for the quality video!

[@sasquatchbgames]

You're spot on there. You need some Knowledge so you can challenge it when it doesn't get it right. It helps point me in the right direction faster than Google can though

[@quazar1sumtin849]

What might help and what helped for me when ChatGPT stops writing code after x amount of time. Was to tell it specifically where to pick up where it left off by directly quoting the line of code you want it to start from once again. 😊👍 hope that helps.

[@sasquatchbgames]

Thanks for the tip!

[@StealthyShiroeanGames]

This is pretty amazing. I haven't went as hardcore as you with ChatGPT, but I have been using it a lot more with my current project. Some scripts are built almost entirely from what ChatGPT makes for me but a lot of the time it just gives me a foundation or a point of entry as to where I should be trying to look next. I've had issues with it going back and forth between "solutions" as well which is a bit annoying but all in all this is such a great tool. I tend to be going to ChatGPT first more and more rather than going to google since it's easier. I would be really curious to see someone create a large game with AI though. ChatGPT seems alright for fairly simple stuff but I sort of wonder how well it would do with a lot of complex systems all working together. Anyway, a great video, man, as usual!

[@sasquatchbgames]

Thanks!! Sounds like you use it the same way I do. As time goes on I find I'm shifting to ChatGPT more than Google as it's just a nicer interface to work in. I don't think it could handle spitting out code for a large scale game without a LOT of infuriating back-and-forth revisions. However, for fun I asked it to give me several high-level options for a scaleable weapons system, it gave me VERY good solutions - so it has knowledge of good design architecture, it just doesn't seem capable of coding it too well itself. But as you said, using it as a 'foundation' and taking that idea and running with it, it's an amazing tool!

[@AngelSaintCloud]

Honestly, I feel like it would be a really great idea as essentially a free tutor meaning that small friend groups could create their own video games.

[@LostGameDev]

Really nice video. ChatGPT is a great tool, but the recent updates have made it harder to use. When it first came out, I was amazed by how much it could do - from scripting, to writing, to simply giving ideas. It was incredible. But now, it struggles to understand basic prompts and most of the time produces buggy code. You give it prompt after prompt trying to make it understand what it needs to fix in its answers and after a lot of back and forth you get the message "Too many requests in 1 hour. Try again later." And in the end, your problem remains unsolved, which is a shame. It's still useful, but I feel like it's nowhere near as good as it was and I hope they fix it so it works like it used to.

[@sasquatchbgames]

There is no controversy, it is simple; this A.I. will allow most people to do much more. How great a software developer is, must be measured by the quality of his product and the needs it serves... not by their ability to write Code.

Imagine a game with NPCs with chat lines that uses the chatGPT API. I'll bet someone is working on a game right now with hyper intelligent NPCs.

Great video. Awesome to see the process in its entirety and see the hurdles you had to overcome along the way. Hoping this workflow for gamedev won't become the norm in the next few years 😅

[@sasquatchbgames]

Personally I think it'll change how we troubleshoot problems, but it spits out too much code that doesn't work with your "big picture" of how things flow together in your project. Bur I know it'll continue yo improve so we'll see!

[@LifeCodeGame]

Congratulations on creating an amazing game with AI! It's inspiring to see the possibilities of what can be achieved with the latest technology.

[@rakly3473]

Here's how to get the rest of the code when ChatGPT reaches it's character limit. Copy one of the last lines, one you can easily find back in the code. Then send this to ChatGPT "Starting at this exact line [paste copied line] give me the remaining code." I is important you you start with "Starting at line". ChatGPT tends to process your prompt in the sequence you write it. If you would write. "I didn't get the entire code, please give me the code again from line x". It tends to start responding to your first sentence and give you the code from the beginning again. Here are some additional tips: Start your prompt with what NOT to do. ie Do not change the code! Give me 3 suggestions to fix issue... It might still show you code, but will not have actually updated it. Start your prompt by saying to read the entire prompt, analyze the entire prompt, then answer. Or teel it you will give it multiple prompts in a row, for example if your code is too long to paste it in in one go, and to wait until you give it another instruction.

[@MHTHINK]

I've had similar repetition and confusion with ChatGPT. If it gives a bad (especially if repetitive) response and we leave it in the chat, it will bias toward mimicking the mistake. Part of the dialogue is included with the final prompt and it predicts what it would do, as though it's another person writing. I edit what I wrote prior now so it doesn't get the wrong idea.

Tools like this are going to really shake up the industry as they advance. Bar for entry will be even lower and easier, things are going to be a lot more competitive. So many developers working on things now will spend years and years of their life pouring heart and soul into their stuff and, when it releases, we'll be in an era were people can do it faster, faster, faster.

[@sasquatchbgames]

Yep. On the one hand...games take SO long to make so I'm excited at the prospect of anything that can help speed it up...on the other hand, I don't like the idea of the market becoming more saturated than it already is. There's already so many junk titles out there, now there's just going to be more. But of course, technically there should be more gems too. I guess time will tell!

[@Johnhention1]

With me writing code on gpt If it stopped halfway I ask “is that it? And it usually says “sorry no here’s the rest of the script”

[@tomaszwoznica9862]

Thanks for the video. I am afraid the gamedev might become a bit like chess. You can play it with your friends and learn some strategies but eventually AI will beat you at a professional level. If AI is able to generate code and ideas then we will be able to use it for gamedev for sure, but for me it takes away the fun of making anything really. Like the industrial revolution took away the fun of having everything made by humans. I know there will be other opportunities but imagine learning chess for years only to find out AI has already surpassed you. For me this is the same with programming. I know that this is progress of things and you can't stop it but still, it feels like there is less fun in making games.

[@thehypersonicegg5540]

Ai will beat humans at everything but i feel like gamedev is one of the last things it can do completely automated gamedev is so abstract requires so many different skills to work in perfect synergy that for a very long time Ai will just drasticaly boost what human devs can create just like our curent tech boosted devs of the past maybe a solo dev will be able to make what curently only multi million studios can make.

[@Allplussomeminus]

The "continue" prompt always works fine for me. Just that sometimes GPT will write the code outside the scripting box as normal text... Well this video is 2 months old, so that issue was probably patched by now.

[@vaughanmerrick]

So basically if you don’t understand how to code in the first place, you’re pretty much sol if chatgpt gets it wrong. Also, isn’t the whole fun of creating, actually creating? But I see the benefit of idea generation if you don’t have any ideas.

[@kraskish]

I really enjoyed when you asked chat gpt for background description, and then pasted it to dallee. True AI ception.

[@Azurantine81]

Its data reference point being 2021 is its largest weakness by far, particularly for code since it gets updated so regularly. A couple of the API's I am working with it just keeps recommending deprecated functions. I am hopeful for the future of this project though.

I still dont think people understand just how game (Pun intended) changing Chat GPT is, I have had so moch fun (And frustration - Im looking at you Open AI Policies) writing stories, ideas and code. I have a huge project lined up over the next 12-24 months all generated, discussed, critiqued, planned, rewritten, updated and thought out using Chat GPT. Ive written (No, chat GPT has written) versions of PacMan and Space Invaders. Ive had to convert code from Windows Forms C# to Unity C# and then to GDI+ C# (For simple prototyping).

[@VeggieManUK]

One of the earliest things I had it do, was to create spheres in unity, give them gravity to attract each other, have missiles spawn and select targets, have spheres turn into hunters that would track and shoot ot other spheres (The hunter, Chat GPT decided to have them shoot at other sheres all by itself), have impact debris (Other missiles) fly out in a uniform pattern (It devided 360 by 10, the number of debris particals i asked for, making it a uniform pattern, just like i asked for). Ultimately, it did not work as expected, but the context was there and it understood everything I wanted.

[@sasquatchbgames]
