[9front] Invitation for testing a new game for 9front: Jetpack Game

Dear 9front community,

I hope this message finds you all well. As a newcomer to this group, this is my first actual interaction with you, the 9front community. I've been a silent observer for over two years now, using 9front in a virtual machine and admiring the dedication and innovation that has brought this project to where it is today.

Today, I have some exciting news to share with you all.

I've been working with OpenAI's language model, ChatGPT, to develop a new game for the 9front OS. This unique project is a testament to the capabilities of AI models in coding. Every bit of the game code was written by ChatGPT, and it's been a fascinating journey watching it come to fruition.

The game is a simple yet enjoyable one, where a player, represented by a square, must navigate through obstacles and gather coins while moving along the y-axis. The game dynamics involve acceleration, maximum speed, and movement based on the state of the up arrow key. Obstacles and coins continuously appear from the right side of the screen, and the game ends if the player collides with an obstacle. However, if the player collides with a coin, their score increases.

Currently, the game is still in its testing phase, and this is where I need your help. Due to my limited hardware capacity, I've been running the game in a virtual machine environment where it's not performing at its best. I'm reaching out to this community to ask for your help in testing this game on a bare metal installation of 9front.

If the game runs smoothly and the community finds it interesting, I'm looking forward to submitting it for inclusion in the 9front OS. Your feedback and suggestions would be invaluable for fine-tuning the game dynamics and squashing any bugs that might surface.

I believe that this game, if successfully implemented, could add another fun component to our beloved 9front OS. Please let me know if you're interested in being a part of this testing process.

I will gladly share the source code with anyone willing to test it and look forward to your feedback.

Thank you for considering this request. I'm eager to hear your thoughts and excited about the potential for this unique collaboration between AI and human programming!

Best regards,

Gena

Indeed, there are also unanswered questions regarding the legal
owner of intellectual property of code like this. It is impossible
for us to verify that this code is respecting the license of the
code that influenced it.

As the kids say:

It doesn't work anyway.  It has multiple bugs, and makes several
bizarre choices that don't make any sense.  It literally has output
typical "I have no idea what I'm doing" copypasta.  Event code might
be common enough that it copies the overall structure in a sort of
plausible way, but it gets wrong anything more technical such as
timing and blocking i/o.  It doesn't quite follow style(6) either.
Chatgpt's entire goal is to output plausible looking answers, not
exact or correct.  Therefore I think that this is a pointless
exercise; you cannot trust it and must review and correct all of its
mistakes anyway.  If you want to learn to program 9front software, do
that instead of trusting some language model.  My 2¢.

Cheers,

I get a white screen when running it. after a small period of time, or after I right click, it tells me
the game is over.

Re: [9front] Invitation for testing a new game for 9front: Jetpack Game

[PeacefulGena]

i originally made this game for windows with chatgpt, and ported it to 9front with chatgpt. but the 9front version only runs at like 3fps for me on drawterm, but the game works for me completely with the exception of the low frame rate in drawterm. so i dont know whats going on for you.

make sure ur compiling and running with these commands

6c -FTVw jetpack.c
6l jetpack.6
6.out

Like I said, chatgpt's output is buggy and incorrect.  It works on
drawterm probably because of differences in devdraw, but it's
accidental, the draw code is wrong.  It runs at 3fps because timing is
not handled correctly, nor is event handling.  It's evident that these
don't work like on windows.  My advice is again to not use chatgpt and
learn to do it yourself properly.  You're free to do as you will of
course, that's just like, my opinion; I'm heavily biased against it I
guess.

Cheers,
