First crappy dungeon painting done, now off to the real stuff

Okay, after getting stable diffusion to generate all kinds of stuff for me, I've got a first crappy-looking dungeon, with 90% of the code written by ChatGPT. But hey, it is a full dungeon level with weapons and armor and a NPC in it! And drawing stuff on top of other stuff!

In the end, debugging was painful, damn Javascript. At some point some subclass returned not a DrawingObject(URL) but the URL itself. A strongly typed language would just have seen that. Oh well.

Now for the fun part - getting ChatGPT to be the player's opponent in the game.

But that's for next update.

Creating buckets of letters with equal probability

Bild
Next task: deciding whether a word will be a monster, a weapon, an armor etc. I want to do this by picking the middle character of a word, and then, depending on that character, decide which kind of dungeon entity it will be. Therefore let's create a fixed number of buckets, one or two per kind, and assign letters to each bucket so that each bucket contains letters of the same overall likelihood to appear in the English language. Sounds complicated? Not for ChatGPT. First I let it come up with the letter probabilities: Now I need a constant array that contains the letter probabilities of the english language - the first element the probability of an "a", the 25th the one of a "z". Can you create this in JS? Output: const letterProbabilities = [   0.0817, // a   0.0149, // b   0.0278, // c   0.0425, // d   0.1270, // e   0.0223, // f   0.0202, // g   0.0609, // h   0.0697, // i   0.0015, // j   0.0077, // k   0.0403, // l ...

How it started...

Intro - why this blog? This blog is mostly for people who know software development and would like to understand how ChatGPT can and will change the way we are developing software.  Warning: this is about real (Javascript, Java) code. Back then, in the old days,   I had developed an Android RPG I and a few hundred users found fun. In retrospective it was probably way too complicated for an app. The idea of the game was: turn any web page into a dungeon: words are turned into monsters and weapons - the longer the word the more powerful the monster or weapon. Vowels determine the elements of the monster and weapon, consonants define the behavior of the monster. I also used the web page to dynamically generate the dungeon - nothing you saw was random or pre-thought, all came from the web page.  That was the mighty home page of the game I did: web raid mobile . Reboot, simplified, in Javascript I still like the core idea of fighting complicated words like " butyrylcholin...

Switching AIs from ChatGPT to stable diffusion as I need a number of images for warriors, guards, peacekeepers, traders, cowards, to populate my dungeon. And a hero of course. Working with SD 15 model (the RPG model wasn't so impressive). The Elden Ring Lora and the extension to remove backgrounds are very helpful, and controlnet helps me have everybody have the same stance. Won't try animation for the first attempt. Still quite a bit to do - 5 different elements x about 8 different types of NPC/monster x create 100 images to select the best from = 3000 images to be generated. Here's a few. Need to be scaled and cleaned up still.
