  • Giving up...

    From Shurato@42:12/1 to All on Saturday, August 01, 2026 16:08:00
    I've tried people an AI for recommendations for games. Both have made me decide to give up and spend my time elsewhere. No cards games, no strategy,
    no puzzles, no reflexes required, must be easy, but still really fun. No parodies. I must be able to save the game every 10-15 minutes. Nothing
    meets all of those categories...

    Have you ever thought of trying to use AI to code one... start simple and then add little features that you like but that will also be challenging while playable?

    Would that even have remotely enjoyable graphics?

    That I couldn't say. I would imagine the best way to get that would be to find a game that is open source, that you like the graphical look of, but where the game play needs changes to meet your desired requirements. I suspect AI would be pretty decent for that.
