I wanted to create a simple game inspired by Crossy Road, where the player dodges cars to reach the other side. I asked ChatGPT to help me build a playable version using p5.js. My goal was to understand how the logic, visuals, and interactivity of a game come together.

At first, I asked ChatGPT to “make me a game like Crossy Road.” It generated a working version of the game with a player character, moving cars, and collision detection. After that, I wanted to see the game visually, so ChatGPT turned the code into a full HTML file that I could open and play directly in my browser.

Then, I asked to see what the game might look like through images, and ChatGPT generated a visual preview showing a small chicken crossing roads filled with cars, similar to the original Crossy Road aesthetic.

Later, I noticed that the game was laggy, and the R key didn’t restart the game as expected. I told ChatGPT about these issues, and it explained why they happened. There were too many cars being drawn, and the “R” key logic wasn’t working because the draw loop was paused. ChatGPT then gave me a revised version of the entire game that ran smoother and restarted properly.

This conversation taught me how to move from an idea to a working prototype step by step. It felt like collaborating with a coding partner who helped me debug and understand why things worked (or didn’t).
