Ive seen many youtube videos on people attempting to make games with chatgpt but the results are not the best but it certainly looks fun i guess.

ive been wanting to make a video game for weeks now and i just cant code no matter how hard i try i just cant. also if one chooses to make a game with chatgpt what engine should one go with or thing? Because there is a lot to choose from.

what are your thoughts on this, do you have anything to add?

    It’s a tool. It can help you code, but it can’t do it all for you. As a beginner, it’s extremely useful because you can have it explain things and tell you how to structure things. It can help you build the blocks but you still need to organize the blocks and put them all together to fit your design.

    I have had it make a very very simplified version of the Duolingo match game. It worked but if you asked it to fix something it would fix it but something else would break.

    If you can’t code, what are you going to do when a ChatGPTgenerated game fails a test?

    Even a simple video game requires hundreds of hours of play testing.

    Chatgpt is a bit dated and dumb

    It can spot errors in codes and get you started or something if you get stuck

    If you wanna make a simple game there are great guides on youtube that show you how do things even without coding knowledge. But then afterwards… you will probably still feel like you dont know how to code

    Ifyou just wanna learn basic coding of things, i recommend www.theodinproject.com

    Its free, and awesome. It teaches you to make websites, but theres a good amount of fundamental info as well
