This experimental open-source AI turns prompts into playable Marvel, Star Wars and Harry Potter games

Images from Marvel, Star Wars and Harry Potter games created with AI game generator OpenGame.

AI researchers think they're getting closer to being able to create video games from text prompts. A team at the Chinese University of Hong Kong's MMLab has released an open-source model that it claims is the first AI that can build a complete playable game from scratch (you might want one of the best laptops for game development).

According to the researcher paper, a developer can describe a game using natural language, and OpenGame will structure the project, write the code, debug errors and generate a final browser-based game. The researchers built demos for an Avengers-style platformer, a Harry Potter card battle game, KOF-style quiz fighters and a survival game inspired by Netflix's Squid Game.
