I think you forgot to generate the gameplay. The opponent just walks up and never hit me.

Yeah you can win on hard playing one handed by just spamming ‘kick’

that's the gotcha when playing an AI slop game.

Where's Steve Ballmer with the metal chair?

I know right? I think in the age of AI, we call it taste ( or, less charitably, minimal human involvement in creation of this app took place ).

I made you a theme song: https://underscore.audio/s/cmp_f6c34ae4-bb4/geek_fighter_the...

It’s adaptive, so can evolve with gameplay. Happy to work with you to make it awesome

Disclaimer: I’m building Underscore :)

Interesting product. Are you really using Fable 5 to generate sounds? FYI, in Chrome for Android, the only way to hide those bottom sheets is to tap the handle. Grabbing and sliding them down, reloads the page, which is a little annoying.

I created a gamelan sequencer with it. I intended on using samples but it went ahead and created a bunch of synthesized instruments in javascript with the right (ish) overtones, in the right tuning system, it was pretty crazy. 3d instruments animation with 3d audio positioning.

edit: maybe i should post it to HN

you should!

would love to hear it! Please share

I held off on sample support for the time being. It’s purely procedural code.

partially inspired by: https://www.thewayofcode.com/

Are those geeks tho? Also why musk's special isn't nazi salute and why doesn't he jump like human X?

Very nice. The font or font on buttons like "CHOOSE DIFFICULTY" and "CHANGE FIGHTER" is badly exceeding the bounds of the button. May need Jonah Hill as the final boss.

The "geek" in the title is definitely a lie. I can think of an entire series of fitting expletives to replace it, though.

The 1% Fighter

Gorgeous graphics. Can you talk about that a bit?

Only issue is I do not recognize many of the fighters as technically apt, much less "geek"

I had the same idea but never took it beyond one AI generated image:

Thought it said Greek Fighter which would actually be sick like Socrates vs Plato and they have special powers like Plato has Atlantis which summons a tidal wave etc

This is well executed and stupidly amusing - can I get an APK port for my android handheld? Would make for a fun game night with some buddies

The only thing good about this is the sprites, and I'm not sure how authentic those are. If you look at PG's kick, the animation suddenly switches to the other leg, which I feel like a human would not have done.

Looks like the Up button overlapping the X button.

No Konami code :(

This is nice. How did you generate the graphics?

Graphics How did you make it?

Alright this is pretty high effort

it's really not though

AI Slop

So sloppy that a number of commenters are impressed with the graphics?

Yes. There is a lot more to a competent game than the graphics. The text often doesn't fit on the UI properly (at least not in my browser,) the music is generic and doesn't fit the motif, and the gameplay itself is terribly simplistic. The sprites are nice, although in a few frames I think I saw some errors with the transparency.

Like every other vibe-coded game out there it's a good technical demo for the capabilities of AI but it's not a good game.

The graphics look like AI

Now, this is fun! I am playing Mark any given day. Let's see where this goes.
