Hi Friends! 👋

📊 Daily Stand-Up: Yesterday, as the Lead Engineer, we embarked on an exciting journey – diving straight into our AI-driven game. First we had to define the mechanics of our game starting with the rules. As this project is meant to be driven by AI we start with AI.

Chat GPT Prompt: “I want to build a game where you create output and interact with the player.  Can you teach me how to describe the rules of the game to you?”

Chat GPT suggested I break the game down into the following sections: 

• Objective:
  • What is the main goal of the game? What are players trying to achieve?
• Gameplay Mechanics:
  • How does the game work? Are there turns, rounds, or a continuous flow of actions?
  • What are the core actions or decisions players can make?
• Player Interactions:
  • How do players interact with the game world?
  • Are there specific choices, commands, or inputs they can use?
• Scoring and Progression:
  • How is success or progress measured in the game?
  • Are there points, levels, or other indicators of achievement?
• Challenges and Obstacles:
  • What challenges or obstacles will players face?
  • Are there opponents, puzzles, or environmental factors?
• Winning and Losing:
  • How can players win the game?
  • What conditions lead to a player’s loss?
• Feedback and Responses:
  • How will the game respond to player actions?
  • Are there specific messages or feedback based on player choices?
• Additional Features:
  • Are there any special features, power-ups, or unique aspects of the game?

This seems like a reasonable start to defining the mechanics. But after playing with it for several hours here is where we ended up. 

ROLE: 

• The role the AI will play 

STORY:

• The story the AI will create or use as the setting for the game

LIMIT: 

• Any limits to the game ie. think difficulty settings

MECHANICS: 

• This is where you’ll want to define the rules

RESPONSES: 

• How should the AI respond, what should be included

OBJECTIVES:

• What’s the objective for the player

RESTRICTIONS:

• Any restrictions on the AI

Today we’ll step into the Delivery Manager role to lay out our roadmap and focus on the tooling needed to integrate AI fully into our app without paying!
