I made a flappy bird clone with GPT4 and Midjourney in under an hour and you can do it too!

I was curious to see if GPT4 is good at C# and Unity.

I actually have a couple of months of Unity learning and even if I still consider myself a super beginner, I wanted to see how easy or hard it would be. At least, I knew how to navigate Unity ( as it can be tricky when you start ).

I will share the conversation with the bot, the process, and the result. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!

Final result, not so bad for the time it took and my little knowledge.

Myself: Can you write me all the c# scripts and clear step-by-step instructions for a flappy bird clone? with basic squares and rectangles for game asset sprites

The bot: Creating a complete Flappy Bird clone in C# will require several scripts and Unity as the game engine. I’ll provide you with a simplified version using basic shapes and outline the necessary steps to get you started.

1. Create a new Unity project.
2. Set the camera’s background color to your preference.
3. Create the following folders in your Assets folder: Scripts, Sprites, and Prefabs.

Now let’s create the game objects and scripts.

A. Player (Bird) Object:

1. Create a new empty GameObject and rename it to “Player”.
2. Add a Rigidbody2D and a BoxCollider2D component.
3. Adjust the BoxCollider2D size to fit the square sprite you’ll use for the player.
4. In the Rigidbody2D settings, set Gravity Scale to 1.5 and Freeze Rotation Z.
5. Create a new C# script called “PlayerController” and attach it to the Player GameObject.

PlayerController.cs :

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float jumpForce = 5.0f;
    private Rigidbody2D rb;

    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
        {
            rb.velocity = Vector2.up * jumpForce;
        }
    }
}

B. Ground Object:

1. Create a new 3D object, a Quad, and rename it to “Ground”.
2. Add a BoxCollider2D component and…
