Nothing Better to Do, and Tokens to Spare
The other day, I needed to generate a couple of images through the OpenAI API for a small task. Once I had finished playing around with that, I decided to crank my slop machine up to the max.
I gave the agent access to those API endpoints, then gave Fable and Astra a high-level task: I wanted an old-school sprite-based RTS, with a couple of references. The agents spent a few hours working in the background, followed by several more hours of prompting from me spread across a few evenings.
And now it already runs in my browser. With a couple of simple prompts, I added bots and room-based multiplayer, then hosted the whole thing on my VPS.
Check it out. There is nothing real here. The images, sounds, text, and code were all generated from scratch. For a prototype, it looks and plays absolutely amazingly.
Of course there are bugs. The visual glitches are especially noticeable, and the sound design is funny. But isn't this the dream? Could we ever have imagined something like this?
