Seeking feedback: What if you could vibe code pixel platformers? 👾
Hey everyone!
So, I've been playing around with this idea lately, even built a small proof of concept using Gemini 2.5 and DALLE 3. Not impressive, just to check AI can build something like this. You can check the game here - https://game-sandbox-puce.vercel.app/robot.html
My background: I’m not a game developer, but I often wish I could build small, custom games just for fun or specific needs without diving deep into code.
During this experiment, I realized the process involved a few key stages where AI could help (in my case):
Character: Designing its look and basic mechanics (how it moves, jumps, etc.)
World: Setting up the environment's style and physics.
Gameplay: Defining simple rules or objectives.
(And of course): A lot of debugging and fixing AI quirks!
So, the core idea I'm exploring is this: a tool that helps non-developers turn simple ideas into actual games using AI. Imagine turning your kid's drawing into a playable character, or quickly building a simple 2-player game to mess around with friends.
What’s your thought on this? 🙏
