Summary
Build Your First AI Game Without Coding: Complete Tutorial Using Lovable, Grok 3, and Claude 3.7
In this comprehensive tutorial, you'll learn how to create a fully functional AI-powered game without writing a single line of code. The video demonstrates how to build a polished robot-themed shooter game using three powerful AI tools: Lovable, Grok 3, and Claude 3.7 Sonnet.
The tutorial begins by showing how to use Grok 3's deep search functionality to create a detailed game outline and plan. This planning phase establishes the game's mechanics, visual style, and overall structure. Next, Grok generates the complete code implementation in p5.js format, creating a basic but functional game prototype.
The most impressive part comes when the presenter introduces Lovable, a no-code AI development platform integrated with Claude 3.7 Sonnet. By simply pasting the initial code and providing specific prompts for improvements, the basic game transforms into a visually appealing experience with enhanced gameplay mechanics. The tutorial shows how each iteration adds features like power-ups, wave-based enemy progression, improved controls, and more polished visuals.
What makes this approach revolutionary is that it requires zero coding knowledge. Anyone can follow these steps to create a complete game that can be shared online immediately. The final product includes:
- Responsive player controls using arrow keys and mouse

righty so if you stick with me in this
0:02
video I promise you I will show you how
0:04
to create a fully functional game that
0:07
you can deploy on the internet share
0:09
with your friends and family and look
0:10
like a genius we're going to do this
0:12
using artificial intelligence so no
0:14
coding experience is required if you've
0:16
never coded before in your life don't
0:18
stress we are going to use two tools Gro
0:21
and lovable those are the only two tools
0:23
we're going to use Plus on top of all of
0:25
this they are completely free so we're
0:27
going to build this for completely free
0:29
let's get into it okay so I'm in grock
0:32
and I find grock is the best when it
0:33
comes to outlines when it comes to
0:35
planning so in our case when we want to
0:37
develop out the design and the plan for
0:40
our game grock is the way to go
0:42
especially with its deep search function
0:45
okay so how are we going to do this
0:46
you're going to come to grock completely
0:48
free just sign in and you're going to
0:50
hit the Deep search button to make sure
0:52
it's toggled on and then I've got a
0:54
couple of prompts that you guys can
0:55
literally just steal and I want to copy
0:58
those across now okay so I've got our
1:00
prompt here and it's create a highly
1:02
polished AI robot theme shooter game I
1:05
thought the AI theme would be cool given
1:07
the purpose of my channel and the
1:09
newsletter AI the boring so we went with
1:12
that using p5.js this is a JavaScript
1:14
format that is best for 2D games which
1:16
is what we aiming to build so that's
1:18
that and then the game should have
1:20
smooth mechanics responsive controls and
1:22
engaging visual effects right one thing
1:24
to note here is we said design all
1:26
Sprites and assets from scratch this is
1:28
important in that it's all the different
1:30
characters and sound effects and
1:32
components that make up our game we
1:33
saying we want to build it from scratch
1:35
so you know down the line we don't get a
1:39
you know a request to integrate with an
1:41
external asset catalog or an API that's
1:44
paid and it just starts complicating the
1:47
development of our game so I've said
1:49
create everything from scratch keeps it
1:50
nice and simple and we go from there
1:53
right do not use any pre-made or
1:54
external assets final product should
1:56
feel sleek and refined and with an
1:58
immersive experience for players all
2:00
righty so we're going to toggle deep
2:01
search on and we're going to hit Run
2:04
Deep search is now going to run and
2:06
might take about a minute or so and it's
2:08
going to build out our full outline for
2:10
our game in very much in a lot of depth
2:13
and we'll go from there once it's
2:15
complete okay it's done so you can see
2:18
how much information is here it thought
2:20
for 47 seconds use 10 different sources
2:23
and you can see it's reasoning thinking
2:25
planning game design implementing enemy
2:27
Ai and it gave us this so key points
2:30
game overview asset design mechanics and
2:32
controls visual effects so forth so
2:35
forth and you know a little bit of code
2:36
here so this gives us a good outline I
2:39
mean even a table for organization so
2:41
for players enemies projectiles so forth
2:44
so it really just does a good job of
2:46
doing a deep dive into the game we want
2:47
to achieve and you know giving us that
2:50
outline now what do we do right what do
2:52
we do is or what we do is I have another
2:56
prompt here that I'm going to copy
2:57
across and it says create create a
3:00
complete and functional code block for
3:01
this game so we're saying take the
3:03
design and give us the code right all
3:05
assets and Sprites must be fully
3:07
original and created within the script
3:09
like we said before ensure smooth
3:11
gameplay mechanics so forth so forth the
3:13
final implementation should be immersive
3:14
and ready to play without any additional
3:16
files or dependencies okay so we're
3:18
going to take this piece of code and
3:19
then we're going to put this into
3:21
lovable let's run this first what we
3:23
going to do now is we're going to switch
3:24
to the think model um and basically this
3:27
just allows us we're not doing a deep Di
3:29
we're not asking for a further outline
3:31
we just want the code so it's saying
3:33
take that outline and give us the code
3:35
for it so we're use the think module for
3:36
that so we going to run that it's going
3:38
to think shouldn't think for too long
3:41
and it should give us our code in the
3:43
meantime I've got lovable up over here
3:45
which we're going to run there but I've
3:47
also got another component up which is
3:49
p5.js which is our JavaScript format
3:52
that we're building the game in and this
3:54
is a free website where you can just go
3:56
to p5js org hit the start coding button
4:01
and then it gives you a little bit of
4:03
like a canvas of code where you can
4:05
preview the game right so it's it's
4:08
really simple to do so once we have the
4:10
code here we will trial it in this web
4:12
edit just to see how it looks and then
4:14
we'll go into lovable and we start
4:15
making it look real fancy and oh let's
4:18
wait until this is stopped thinking and
4:21
we've got our code and then we'll go
4:22
from there okay so it started to
4:24
actually build out our code it did think
4:26
for quite a quite a while so if we
4:27
actually scroll over here thought for
4:29
121 seconds so about 2 minutes and then
4:33
it gives us our game overview and the
4:35
complete set of code right over here so
4:37
it's I think just completed yep so
4:41
simple enough does give us information
4:43
on how we can run this so copy this code
4:45
into the p5.js editor and go ahead and
4:47
edit it and run your game and play your
4:48
game but that will mean you know
4:51
providing this code to to anyone that
4:53
you want to play the game and then they
4:55
have to run it's in this web and it's
4:58
just terrible so we're going to run in
4:59
the web editor just to show you how it
5:01
looks so let's copy the code literally
5:04
come over here let's paste that code in
5:06
and we are literally going to go ahead
5:08
and say run and you can see here really
5:11
really basic let's run it again let's
5:15
see if we can move around at all trying
5:17
to see okay you shoot with your mouse
5:20
but okay so you can't even move you just
5:22
got to shoot you can see it actually
5:24
like times out a bit so shoot there okay
5:27
so not great at all and Bear with me
5:30
because we're going to make this work
5:31
and look a lot better cuz right now I
5:34
agree it looks terrible it's functioning
5:36
not too great and this is how far you
5:39
could get but now we're going to bring
5:40
in lovable plus I mentioned earlier or
5:43
in the title that Claude 3.7 Sonet is
5:46
involved here loveable have now
5:48
integrated with Claude 3.7 Sonet which
5:50
is Making Waves over the last week with
5:53
its functionalities when it comes to
5:56
workflows and external tools so from a
5:59
no code perspective using clae 3. 3.7
6:02
Sonet is really a game changer and I'm
6:04
going to show you how Okay so we're in
6:06
lovable and we are basically going to
6:09
preempt the code we're going to add in
6:11
here all I'm going to do is I'm going to
6:12
just paste in this prompt saying I am
6:14
building a p5.js implementation of an AI
6:17
robot theme shooting game and I have the
6:18
code to implement below colon just
6:22
double click copy up code and go ahead
6:25
and just paste it in there straight
6:27
we're going to launch it in lovable and
6:29
and then we're going to let lovable run
6:30
through the the code where it needs to
6:32
go and give us a preview hopefully with
6:34
no errors but let's see I'm going to
6:36
jump to the output and then we'll go
6:39
from there okay so no errors and we
6:41
actually got the game successfully into
6:43
lovable which looks very similar to the
6:44
one we had on the web editor so it says
6:47
game over click to restart if we click
6:49
we can basically we can try and shoot
6:52
these but it's actually really hard and
6:55
difficult okay we killed one there one
6:57
there click to restart okay so now we're
7:01
going to add in this prompt so I'm going
7:03
to go in there I'm going to say I found
7:05
the game played to be too simple and not
7:07
competitive at all the environment and
7:10
enemy robots are absolutely hideous they
7:12
barely resemble robots or a stunning
7:14
environment or/ Battlefield and fail to
7:16
intimidate me at all a for the game to
7:19
go viral where my focus is a products
7:20
and building of those products redesign
7:22
the robots in the environment to make
7:25
and make any other tweaks to boost the
7:26
chances of it going viral so let's start
7:28
with that and let me just show you I've
7:30
done this previously with another game
7:32
that I I'll launch and I'll link in the
7:34
description but I want to show you how
7:36
lovable takes this and then you know
7:39
just picks it up and and goes with it so
7:41
let's run that and let's see how lovable
7:44
responds because right now it does look
7:46
pretty trash so I understand you want to
7:48
make the game more competitive and
7:49
Visually appealing that's enhance it so
7:52
this might take a while so I'm going to
7:53
jump to when we have a results and we'll
7:55
go from there all righty and on edit
7:57
number two after editing that proms you
7:59
can see how much it has revamped the
8:02
game so we've got cyber robot
8:03
Battlefield show controls so arrow keys
8:07
to move your robot Mouse to aim your
8:09
weapon left click or space to shoot
8:11
collect powerups so we powerups in
8:14
health Shield rapid fire that's pretty
8:16
cool and let's play a little bit of the
8:19
game so let's move around wait let's try
8:24
and see okay we can't move that's
8:26
definitely something to work on so I'm
8:28
going to see here cannot move in the
8:31
game by using the arrow keys so let's
8:35
work on that and let's improve that but
8:37
you can already see off the bat it's
8:39
just a much more beautiful UI the
8:41
functionality is a lot better and I mean
8:43
when we start comparing it to you know
8:46
this over here it starts adding some
8:48
nice depth and we're only on edit number
8:50
two within within loable so the whole
8:52
thing here for me is it takes oh that's
8:56
it takes lovable takes the game that
8:58
you've built out of the plan and Lev
9:00
really does transform it so let's try
9:03
again here and see if we can move around
9:05
okay there's a lot of these guys
9:07
shooting at us this makes it really
9:09
difficult okay so let's see if we can
9:10
first move around so click to restart
9:13
okay I can't move still can't still
9:17
cannot move around and the game the game
9:23
is quite difficult let's make it a wave
9:29
for formats so a wave formats in the
9:31
sense of like the enemy's coming waves
9:33
right so wave one wave two is harder
9:36
than wave 1 wave three is harder than
9:37
wave two and so forth it gets more and
9:39
more difficult as you go so let's see
9:41
how that goes I'm going to jump to the
9:44
results of this and then we can just see
9:46
how it's looking okay so we on edit four
9:48
and let's see how this goes restart okay
9:51
perfect we can actually start moving
9:53
around and we can actually start using
9:55
this game so you can see our enemies
9:57
have a life on them oh what still fairly
10:00
difficult to shoot these guys but we're
10:02
getting there getting there okay you can
10:05
just aim with your a that's much better
10:07
okay okay okay so you can aim with your
10:11
mouse okay there we go nice let's get
10:13
out the way okay that's good that's good
10:15
that's good got it wave one complete 100
10:18
points next wave in 1 second and then it
10:20
fails okay so or we got shot down on the
10:23
first thing of wave two but this goes to
10:25
show just how easy it is to build these
10:27
games you can go ahead and then just
10:29
start prompting lovable and building out
10:31
your game but it gives you a solid start
10:32
it's better than going into lovable and
10:34
saying Hey I want to build a firstperson
10:37
shooter and it's going to give you
10:38
something so weird to start with this
10:40
you know what you're building you know
10:42
what you're building in you can trial it
10:43
in
10:44
p5.js and I mean you can see from what
10:46
we've gone to to what it looks like now
10:50
is you know miles apart within two edits
10:52
in lble so from now on you can just
10:55
basically prompt it and build it and you
10:57
can really get the game to exactly what
10:58
you want so that is the video I really
11:01
hope it was beneficial I actually
11:02
carried on building out a similar game
11:04
to this which there is a link in the
11:06
description below to check out so go
11:08
check it out give it a play let me know
11:10
what you think of it and once you guys
11:11
build out your games drop them in the
11:13
comments let other people play around
11:14
with them I'll dive in there I'll go
11:16
play around with them get in contact
11:17
with me let me know what you're building
11:19
I'd love to know about it and then just
11:21
before I go one final request over 95%
11:24
of the people that watch this channel
11:25
are not subscribed so if you did get
11:27
some benefit out of this or you are a
11:29
person that watches my videos but is not
11:32
