Building a cloud-themed adventure game on PartyRock!

As part of the AWS PartyRock Hackathon, I built this fun game. I took inspiration from the adventure games I used to play as a kid.

But what is PartyRock? PartyRock is a GenAI playground that enables people to play around with GenAI in an educational and fun way. By entering a quick text PartyRock generates an application for you and you can then tweak it as you see fit.

To create the game, I used the following prompt:

I first noticed that the script needed to be fully configured in the chat widget, as the initial prompt only took the basic gist of it. I created a static section for the script to fix this, as I planned to use it in several widgets.

Then, I edited the Chat widget to reference the full script:

I had to rework the script several times until the game started to act as I was expecting.

After that, I decided to add a section to show the game source code. This would be useful for educational reasons and for anyone wanting to build the game for any platform.

I also added a Picture so that the PartyRock app feels like a real game.

And that was it!

Building an app on PartyRock is fun and straightforward. It provides a very interactive way to add widgets and experiment with LLM models of all kinds. There are no coding skills required to create something significant. I created a simple 3-level game in about 10 minutes, but this could be extrapolated to something more significant with a little bit of time.
