Would like to try out the new "function" feature of the ChatGPT API.. BUT...

 Development slowed down to a crawl...



Damn you, Lilith!

Overwhelming ChatGPT with a lengthy wish? Inventory management

Bild
TL;DR: Learned two things today: 1. when you confront ChatGPT with a too complicated request you just get a technical error. 2. ChatGPT is really good at explaining how the code works that it generates, incl. simple to understand code snippets. Now this was underwhelming: Me: Assume I have a class Creature that represents a Creature (a monster, a NPC, a player) in a role playing game. This creature needs to have a bag in which it carries stuff. It also has the following limbs: head, arms, body, feet, and it has two hands. Also I have a class Tool that can be any tool that can be put into a bag, and from the bag moved to a limb or to a hand. A limb and a hand can only hold maximum 1 tool. If I move a tool from bag to limb or hand, and there is a tool there already, the former tool will automatically move to the bag. Can you create code for methods a) to put a tool in the bag b) to take a tool out of the bag and assign it to a limb. If the limb holds another tool, this is put into the...

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 ...

The heart of the game - getting the words out of a web page

Bild
A game that is about turning words on web pages into dungeons needs to start with a function that gets all the words in a web page, and sorts them by length - we want the fiercest dragons and the most powerful swords first. My Java class to do this job took me a few days and had nearly 500 lines; I created an HTML scanner myself that featured methods to e.g. skip over comments and HTML tags. As you'll see by the end of this blog entry, I'm too embarassed to share it here. So I went ahead and asked ChatGPT: Hi, in this session we are a team of expert software developers who want to create a web based game in Javascript. First we we need a function that takes an URL, and that reads the web page of the URL and determines a list of the words of text it contains, sorted by character count. Can you write this function? And it did. I then asked it to create a test web page (I'm lazy): can you now write a little test web page that tests the function, with a text field where a ...
