ChatGPT created Snake for my 404 page!
A 404 page is the page that tells visitors to a website that they have reached a page that does not exist. These can be designed in different ways. They can try to guide you in the right direction, by linking to the start page or encouraging you to try a search. However, often they are both quite boring and unprioritized.
I suddenly realized I had no 404 page at all!
ChatGPT can do anything!
I asked ChatGPT if it could create a retro-inspired Snake game in Javascript. It could!
Even the first version was functional, but I had to follow up with more detailed specifications, to get it a little more the way I wanted, e.g:
- The snake should not be able to cross itself without causing game over
- New food should not appear under the snake, making it invisible
- If the snake is more than one block long, you cannot go straight from right to left or from up to down
- Etc
Mostly all new requirements were met with changes in the right direction. And the result, after some manual adjustments? You can see it below 👇
Or you can enter an address that does not exist, e.g. https://www.gulla.net/snake.
