This took me back to my first PC gaming experience at age 6ish. Circa 1988. Nostalgia unlocked!

#32If you pick up an additional machine gun powerup, the plane should fire more bullets simultaneously.
or fire bullets for longer, perhaps. it seems like in this case, neither happens.

> I don't know. I'd ask to see the code but since you didn't write it you can't really discuss it. Huh? Why do you believe this? ever take a literature class? Regarding scanlines, there is a setting to turn them off.
Literature is written by human beings, and if the author was in the class I expect they would be able to discuss their process and methodologies. But the entire point of using an AI to generate code is not to pay attention to any of that. The author of AI generated code did not write said code and cannot therefore provide any insight into the process or methodology beyond "here is the prompt and model I used." Nothin…
I agree with you the game is mediorce and feels like a single prompt AI generated game (whether or not it actually is)
But, reguarding AI code ... a movie director directs others (actors, camera people, editors, set builders, ...) to make a movie. They don't do those things themselves. Yet we still ask the director about the movie they directed. I see AI as similar. I direct it. To me there is still value in knowing why a director made certain decisions and their process for getting the result they wanted.
Because getting slop is easy and slightly novel ATM, people post it and it's crap, but I believe some people will use AI as the tool it is and put in enough effort *directing it* to get good results and be worth respect.

#35Anyone else remember Sky Kid?
Great game and this reminds me of it. Thanks for sharing.

Well I dunno, man, this looks like the sort of amusing prototype I'd expect to take a couple of days - though not to understate the value of getting it in 4 hours (and probably with less than 4 hours' continuous effort from the human). Iteration time is an important factor! (Regarding the parting shot, I find myself once again, for the numerousth time, reminded of this curious lobsters comment that I'm having difficu…

Let us hope that the poster happens to see this, and is moved to comment, so they can address your points.

#40I like it, reminds me of the old arcade games. I'd rather use left and right keys instead of up and down but no big deal.
