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?

Simple ones, yeah:

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.
Let’s say it could. It wouldn’t be perfect. You’d still need to know code to know when the AI is wrong.
There are other ways of making a game that does not require code, however. UE5 has a visual logic editor that’s strong enough to make an entire game using nothing but that and never actually touching the text code.
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.
Depends on how simple you mean. I’ve made countless games that are super simple and took just a couple of hours. I advise that OP makes one of these games and not a “real” game since I honestly don’t think ChatGPT can make a big game without a programmer that knows what they’re doing
This question had me trying to get ChatGPT to code a simple game.
My prompt was “Create a Tetris game using Java Swing”. ChatGPT provided code. I copied the code into my IDE and found an entire missing class.
ChatGPT is basically a natural language search engine. If what it finds is wrong, its code will be wrong.
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.
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
