I’ve built a game with ChatGPT in seconds and got thousands of users

One night I wanted to test out ChatGPT’s capabilities for a simple game without any change to the code the model writes. So I did it and got thousands of users from Reddit in a few days. I wanted to share this story to inspire you.

Skeptical? I was too. So, I decided to put it to the test. My challenge was creating a fun HTML game that people on the ChatGPT subreddit would like. That's it. No complex rules, no elaborate backstories, just a simple prompt.

This was my prompt: “You are expert developer and gamer. Write me a fun game with html that people on ChatGPT subreddit would like. I will use it copy paste so make all the details well and design it caring about UI UX. It should be sooooo fun for everyone :)”

As you can tell, I wasn’t expecting this result.

And guess what? ChatGPT delivered. You can see all the conversations here: https://chatgpt.com/share/04ee9033-c9f4-4a21-8ebf-b74e63bba0d2

Here’s the result game: https://fastemy.com/chatgpts-silly-game

Here’s what makes this so remarkable:

• Zero Coding Experience Required: I didn’t use any of my developer skills, just copied and pasted it as HTML code.
• The Power of AI Creativity: ChatGPT used its knowledge to come up with the concept.
• Instant Gratification: We live in a world of instant results. ChatGPT taps into that desire, providing an immediate outlet for creativity and entertainment.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. As AI technology advances, imagine the possibilities! ChatGPT and similar tools could revolutionize the way we create and consume entertainment. What game will you create with ChatGPT?

And here’s the reddit topic that got the attention: https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1f3kzm2/i_asked_chatgpt_to_write_a_silly_fun_game_heres/

I assume most people don’t even know ChatGPT can do this so I wanted to share this with everyone. I hope one of my readers will built something special with this information using ChatGPT.
