The big idea
A good game level has a goal, a challenge, and a reward. AI can help you brainstorm each piece and even draw a map.
Some examples
- Tell AI: 'A platformer level inside a giant kitchen'
- Ask for three obstacles (rolling oranges, slippery butter)
- Ask for one boss at the end (an angry blender)
- Have AI sketch a top-down map of the level
Try it!
Design a level set in a place from your real life — your school, your park. Map it out with AI.
