Have you ever wanted to create your own video game but felt intimidated by coding? With the power of ChatGPT and a little bit of guidance, you can build a working Flappy Bird-style game entirely in HTML and JavaScript — no prior experience required!
đ§ What You'll Learn:
- How to use ChatGPT to generate game code
- How to copy, paste, and test the game in your browser
- How to tweak the game’s look and feel
Open ChatGPT and use the following prompt:
"Write a simple Flappy Bird-style game in HTML and JavaScript that works in a browser. Include basic physics, jumping, gravity, pipe generation, and a score."
ChatGPT will return a block of code you can use right away. Don’t worry — you don’t need to understand all of it to make it work!
đ Step 2: Copy the Code into a File
Use a simple text editor like Notepad (Windows), TextEdit (Mac), or an online code editor like JSFiddle.
Paste the entire code and save the file with a .html
extension, such as flappybird.html
. Then double-click the file to open it in your browser.
đ§ Example Code Snippet
Here’s an abbreviated example of the kind of code ChatGPT will generate:
<canvas id="gameCanvas" width="320" height="480"></canvas>
<script>
// bird, gravity, pipes, collision, and score logic here
</script>
This creates a simple canvas-based game with a flapping bird and moving pipes.
đ¨ Step 3: Customize the Look
You can ask ChatGPT to:
- Change the bird color
- Replace the pipes with Mario-style ones
- Add sound effects
- Track high scores
Just give ChatGPT specific instructions like:
"Add Mario-style green pipe images and a bird sprite to the Flappy Bird game."
đĄ Tips for Making it Your Own
- Change the gravity to make the game harder or easier
- Add background music or jump sound effects
- Include a start menu with instructions
- Add mobile touch support (just ask ChatGPT!)
đ Want to Share It Online?
You can upload your game to platforms like:
đ Need Help?
If anything goes wrong, go back to ChatGPT and ask:
"My Flappy Bird game is not jumping. Can you fix it?"
You’ll get immediate, customized help — like having your own coding tutor!
đ Final Thoughts
With tools like ChatGPT, game development is no longer just for programmers. You can build something fun, share it with friends, and keep tweaking it as you learn.
Try building your own Flappy Bird today — and don’t forget to think like a bot!
