Over the last few days I’ve been working with multiple AI tools to recreate a game that I played on a Mac Plus in the late 90’s. I have tried several times over the years, but my programming skills were/are not up to the task. Ai to the rescue. The interesting thing to me is that even the AI tools struggled with this. I used Rosebud, Townie, ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Qwen, and finally Grok before I got what I wanted, well mostly. All of them got part way there and then got flaky and fell apart. So, this is the game https://blog.wm-tips.com/lasermaze. Apparently it doesn’t work on mobile, which doesn’t surprise me as that was never part of the scope. Now, for the bit you actually want to know. Why would I spend time doing this? Games are huge. The traffic you can get for a game is massive and there is money to be made by people downloading games. So, the page this is on will get links to downloadable games. The page itself will attract a lot of people as long as I put up a leader board for who gets through the most levels before crashing out. The longer people stay on the page the better Google will like it and the more organic traffic it should get. There are other ways to monetise this page but that’s enough for now. Go have a look, please don’t spend too much time on it, I got to level 7. Regards, |
