Creating Your AI-Powered HTML5 Game: A Step-by-Step Guide
To create an AI-powered HTML5 game, you’ll need to follow these steps:
- Sprite Creation: Instead of using an image generator, download a vector image of your character from an external site.
- Sprite Preparation: Use Adobe Illustrator to prepare and export your sprites in multiple formats.
- Background Generation: Use MidJourney to generate a suitable game background. Simply provide a prompt like, “Game asset, 2d Cartoon Style background game scene, forest, forest element, flat, vector.”
- Adding Depth: Enhance the generated image using Adobe Photoshop. For instance, you can cut out the foreground elements to add depth.
- AI Game Coding: Provide ChatGPT-4o with detailed instructions and the media you’ve prepared. In minutes, it will generate an HTML page with your HTML5 Canvas game.
The Future of AI in Game Development
Chavellier believes that spending more time refining this process could lead to even more impressive results. As AI continues to evolve, its potential in game development is likely to grow, offering exciting possibilities for the future.
