What games have people made with ChatGPT? Do you have an example of a live, deployed game?



Yes, a gazillion of them. Someone in a scrabble Facebook group made this entirely with ChatGPT: https://aboocher.github.io/scrabble/ingpractice.html


Look, I get the societal development that you can input narrative text and the code for this pops out is super neat.

But trying to be fair here, anyone would call this incomplete, right?

There are several obvious bugs in styling and interaction.

This example is exactly what I was expecting. An ephemeral, simple-yet-buggy single page that’s barely a game in common understanding.

That person, while maybe not actively programming things, does appear to have forked several repos on GitHub a decade ago. I would say that’s above the level of technical competence implied by the “my grandma” phrasing of the OP.


1 < a gazillion

I think the problem here is different expectations for what a “game” is.

If you tell a room full of programmers that something can make a game they’re going to expect more than that.

I look at that and I don’t really see a game, I see flashcards.

Still pretty cool chatgpt can put that together.

Also the “try again” button doesn’t work.


Its actually kind of wild how obvious it is that this was not made by a human.
