Game Maker

One prompt, one playable game.

What’s inside

One SKILL.md (the playbook) + one starter template. A preview:

When to use

  • You want a small playable game — match-3, puzzle, arcade minigame — from one detailed description
  • A creative interactive visualization (particle simulations, generative toys) as a single file you can open and share
  • A weekend collection of simple minigames, built one at a time from natural-language descriptions
  • A quick playable prototype to test a game concept before committing real effort
  • Teaching or demos where "double-click and it runs" matters more than production quality

Workflow

Describe mechanics, scoring, difficulty, controls, sound, and desktop vs. mobile in one pass. A half-written spec gets you a game that plays itself wrong — one real case's whole lesson was that the prompt must spell out the rules completely, or the AI improvises and the gameplay drifts.

  1. Write the full spec in one prompt (input: game idea → output: detailed prompt)

The AI generates the game as one HTML file (UI, logic, and scoring all inside) — double-click to open, zero dependencies. For a collection: build the architecture/scaffold first, then generate each minigame into it, exactly how a real case built a four-game collection in a day.

  1. Generate the single file (input: detailed prompt → output: self-contained file)

Open it and actually play. Check: does it start, does scoring work, is it winnable and loseable, does it survive a window resize? A demo that can't be lost is a screensaver, not a game.

  1. Playtest immediately (input: file → output: bug list)

Have the AI fix the bugs, but tune difficulty and feel yourself. "Make it harder" in a prompt is guesswork; your own playtest judgment is the instrument. One real case spent the human's time on exactly this and the skill keeps that step human on purpose.

  1. Fix bugs, tune feel by hand (input: bug list → output: revised file)

Export a shareable link or single file. Verify it opens and plays cold — no install steps, no dependencies — before you call it done.

  1. Publish one link (input: final file → output: shareable link)

Output spec

  • One self-contained playable file (or one shareable link) per game
  • The prompt spec used, kept alongside, so the game can be regenerated or remixed
  • Acceptance bar: opens with a double click, plays start to finish, difficulty tuned by a human
  • Limits: small-scope games and visualizations only — no claim of commercial quality, multiplayer, save systems, or backends

Good vs. bad examples

  • ❌ Bad: "Make me a fun game" → a flashy demo that can't be lost, breaks on mobile, and needs three libraries installed
  • ✅ Good: one prompt specifying match-3 rules, scoring, timer, and sounds → a playable file, playtested, difficulty tuned by the maker, shared as one link
  • Standard: if you can't play it s
