GameBoi

Gameboi leverages GPT, Dall-E and PyGame to create customized 2D games based on user input. It is designed to streamline the game development process by automating various stages, from generating game sprites and assets to writing PyGame code.

Features:

1. Prompt Enhancement: The Game Generator begins by enhancing the prompt entered by the user. This step ensures that the game concept is well-defined and rich in detail, setting a strong foundation for the game development.

2. Image Asset Generation and Organization: One of the standout features is its ability to identify and generate the necessary image assets for the game. These assets are automatically downloaded and organized into an 'asset' subfolder within the main game folder, ensuring easy access and management.

3. Pygame Code Generation: The tool generates the initial Pygame code required to bring the game to life. This code serves as a starting point for further development and customization.

4. Error Resolution Loop: In the event of any errors during gameplay, the Game Generator enters a loop where it identifies the issues, solves them, and regenerates the necessary code. This feature significantly reduces debugging time and enhances the overall development process.

System Requirements:

1. Python 3.x
2. Pygame Library
3. ChatGPT API Access
