Project Description

This is a board game I like to play with my 7 year old son. I wondered if I could prompt AI how to play by itself in one sentence. Yeah, it worked!

Initial Prompt

I want to code a program for p5js. It needs to run inside the editor at https://editor.p5js.org/ I want it to be a customized game of Otello, the board game with black and white discs. Let's start by: - set up the main core classes, the board, the discs and the players - visualize the board. It needs to be a 100x100 board - set up and visualize the initial state, with the first 4 discs on the board - Later we are going to add a gameplay. I later change the size of the board to 16x16

Lessons Learned

  • What worked: AI is really good at board games. I didn't have to explain the rules, the board style and colors.. everything worked.
  • What needed help: I only tweak the speed of the animation, everything else was good.

I'm rediscovering the origins of my passion for coding: creating something new, visually appealing, with surprising behaviors and functions.
