Prompt note: I had to fix several bugs in the output from this prompt, it was costly
in time and after having done it a few times, I just caved in and cheated and fixed
the bugs instead of the prompt. The prompt got a bit too complex, it should have
been simplified for the LLM to be able to do it.
>>> Prompt 1:
We're making a game with lemmings of various types, using javascript and canvas.
One type of lemming is the Builder, when activated, it should build a bridge like this:
Here's ASCII to illustrate:
___L_/
Where
_ = ground
L = lemming heading to the right
/ = a segment of bridge at an angle of 30 degrees that the lemming should be building
- the action property is already set to "Builder" you don't need to do anything with that
- in the direction it is walking (this.velX), it should build a bridge at around
30 degrees upwards by coloring pixels on the canvas using the function:
setPixel(x, y, color) where color is an array of three bytes [r,g,b], the color
to use is in dirtColorBytes
- the bridge should start at the lemmings feet and BUILDER_LOOK_AHEAD (add a const of 4)
pixels in front of lemming, and it should at a maximum build BUILDER_LOOK_AHEAD * height pixels
per frame. That is: x = lemming's x+width and lemming's y+height+BUILDER_LOOK_AHEAD
- the bridge should be 4 pixels high
- check bounds of canvas, don't attempt to set change outside it. Check against
canvas.height and canvas.width
- bridges can only be built where the pixel color is black, find the array in the global
blackColorBytes
- if the bridge runs into a wall or another obstacle, lemming should stop building and
lose its Builder status
- implement the Builder in its own function called "build" where a "lemming" is the
only thing being passed in
- the function should return true if it built something, false otherwise
- it can only build if the lemming is currently on the ground
- it cannot build if it is already assigned another action
- the moment the lemming starts a new bridge (that is, start spending building material),
it should set actionStarted to true, and at some point later when it has spent all the
bridge building material, set it to false
- only a little bit of the bridge is built every frame the function is called, so you need
to keep track how how much was built this frame to know when to exit the function.
- The total pixels must be kept track of to know when it should stop building because it spent
all its bridge-building material. After which the lemming should stand still for (pause)
for 120 frames. Set a property called 'standStillUntil' in the lemming for when it should
stand still -- don't use a date for timing, you can get current frame number by looking
at Lemming's age.
- despite lemming moving, between frames it should always just continue building where it
stopped building the previous frame
These things already exist, use them, don't reimplement them:
A lemming has these properties:
age = 0;
width = 10;
height = 20;
x = x;
y = y;
velX = 0;
velY = 0;
onGround = false;
isClimbing = false;
isDead = false;
action = null;
actionStarted = false;
X/Y/velX/velY in the lemming are doubles, to work with individual pixels make sure you use ints
Check collision with obstacles using this (it checks whether there is an obstacle at waist height):
let hitWallOnLeft = this.velX < 0 && isPixelOneOf(oldImgData, this.x - 1, this.y + this.height / 2, terrainColorBytes);
let hitWallOnRight = this.velX > 0 && isPixelOneOf(oldImgData, this.x + this.width + 1, this.y + this.height / 2, terrainColorBytes);
A pixel is just a normal pixel (1x1 pixels -- there are no tiles or blocks).
For operating on pixels, use isPixelOneOf() and setPixel() which are already implemented. Don't implement them again.
And for the love of god, don't use setTimeout() in a loop. For the pause you just need to set a flag in the lemming.
Give me only code, no need for explanation.
>>> Prompt 2:
The following code builds a bridge upwards correctly when a sprite is moving to the right (e.g. lemming.velX > 0).
Make it so that this also works the same way when the sprite is moving leftwards:
const BUILDER_LOOK_AHEAD = 4;
const BUILD_MATERIAL_CARRIED = 75;
const BUILD_PER_FRAME_MAX = 10;
function build(lemming)
{
if (!lemming.onGround) {
return false;
}
const startX = Math.floor(lemming.x + lemming.width + BUILDER_LOOK_AHEAD);
const startY = Math.floor(lemming.y + lemming.height);
if (startX >= canvas.width || startY >= canvas.height) {
return false;
}
let pixelsBuilt = 0;
if(!lemming.totalPixelsBuilt) {
lemming.totalPixelsBuilt = 0;
}
let y = startY
// HUMAN: TODO: This should check end of the bridge, not where lemming is?
const obstacleOnLeft = lemming.velX < 0 && isPixelOneOf(oldImgData, startX - 1, y - lemming.height / 2, terrainColorBytes);
const obstacleOnRight = lemming.velX > 0 && isPixelOneOf(oldImgData, startX + 1, y - lemming.height / 2, terrainColorBytes);
if (obstacleOnLeft || obstacleOnRight) {
// Do nothing
} else {
for (let x = startX; x < canvas.width && x < startX + 4 && pixelsBuilt <= BUILD_PER_FRAME_MAX; x++) {
// HUMAN: TODO: This will allow for a lemming to build more than totalPixelsBuilt by at most BUILD_PER_FRAME -- need check
if (isPixelOneOf(oldImgData, x, y, blackColorBytes)) {
setPixel(x, y, dirtColorBytes);
pixelsBuilt++;
lemming.actionStarted = true;
}
}
lemming.totalPixelsBuilt += pixelsBuilt;
}
if (obstacleOnLeft || obstacleOnRight || lemming.totalPixelsBuilt >= BUILD_MATERIAL_CARRIED) {
lemming.totalPixelsBuilt = 0;
lemming.standStillUntil = lemming.age + 120;
lemming.action = null;
lemming.actionStarted = false;
return false;
}
return pixelsBuilt > 0;
}
