The 2nd annual #PiDayGameJam at Niagara Falls Innovation Hub on March 14 has a special focus on AI in removing barriers for learning and development. With new versions of Grok and Claude, there is a bit of a trend of users testing LLMs to make playable games with minimal prompting. This has given us lots of examples to reference. I will add some below and will showcase some at the event.

#10PromptChallenge invites people to experiment without making the commitment to an entire day or weekend of coding at a keyboard. You can do this from home and send in your games, or join us for pizza and pie and experiment with us. The trend of prompting apps into existence is onboarding lots of people to easy prototype development, which is good for newbies and seasoned developers.

There are services such as Rosebud AI which is specifically devoted to prompt-based game and app development and their free weekly allocation of prompts is 20, so can spend an hour at Pi Day specifically testing this service. If you develop on Rosebud, you can publish on Rosebud and add your game link to this discussion page. As a new follower of their work, I take interest in the team's testing the LLM in same-prompt challenges, which is another interesting byproduct of this trend:

During the AI workshop starting at Noon on March 14, we'll be having a "Battle of the LLM's" with our own Same Prompt Challenges. People everywhere are now crafting prompts and testing with each of the LLMs; some perform better than others. Prompt-based app and game development is a flex for each LLM; I see it as a boon for creators and developers--both new and experienced. LLMs now plug directly into a GitHub or your IDE. What a time to be alive!
