Ai to help make rpg game

A community guide recommends that beginners building an RPG game with AI assistance start by paying for a roughly $20 monthly subscription to Google Gemini, OpenAI or Claude Code, then install the corresponding CLI client and connect it to GitHub through a fine-grained personal access token. The guide instructs users to scope the token to only the game's repository, with Contents set to read and write and Metadata read-only, and to begin with Python and Pygame on a simple project such as a Pong remake or bullet hell scroller. It also cites the 90/90 rule — when you think you are 90% done, you still have 90% to go — and notes that Codex and Claude Code now favor browser-based OAuth login.

To build on the excellent points made by John6666 , I would suggest a structured approach for those just starting their journey into AI-assisted development. A first step is securing a professional subscription to either Google Gemini , OpenAI , or Claude Code all of which are around the $20 monthly mark. After subscribing, install the respective CLI clients for your system to bridge the gap between the AI and your local environment. Set up a GitHub account , if not already done. Create a fine-grained API key within the account settings to provide to the agent. This enables the AI to handle GitHub pushes and commits directly, which can make the workflow easier and more automated. For a first build, start with Python and Pygame . Have the CLI agent guide through a simple project, such as a Pong remake or a bullet hell scroller . The goal is to fully flesh out that simple project. In coding projects, remember the 90/90 rule : when you think you are 90% done, you still have 90% to go. Quick Start: Installing AI Agent Tools Windows <-assumption The most current way to use these models on Windows is through their official desktop applications or CLI tools. Modern tools like Codex and Claude Code now favor browser-based OAuth , which means no more searching for API keys. 1. OpenAI Codex Desktop App & CLI OpenAI has shifted toward the Codex Desktop App https://www.microsoft.com/en-sg/p/codex/9plm9xgg6vks as the primary command center for Windows. It includes a built-in terminal and better visual diffing than a standard CLI. 1, 2, 3 - Install App: Download directly from the Microsoft Store. - Install CLI Optional : If the terminal is preferred, run npm install -g @openai/codex in PowerShell. - Authenticate: Open the app or run codex login in the terminal. The browser will open to sign in via the ChatGPT account. 2. Claude Anthropic CLI Claude Code is a high-speed agent that lives in the terminal. 3. Google Gemini CLI Google provides a dedicated CLI for interacting with the Gemini 1.5 Pro and Flash models. Pro Tip: If any of these npm commands fail, ensure the latest LTS version of Node.js is installed from nodejs.org http://nodejs.org . To make your life easier, you’ll want to give your agent a Fine-Grained Personal Access Token PAT . This is more secure than old-school tokens because you can limit the agent’s access to only the specific projects it needs to work on. Step-by-Step: Creating a GitHub Fine-Grained Token 1. Go to Settings: Log in to GitHub, click your profile picture in the top right, and select Settings . 2. Developer Settings: On the left sidebar, scroll all the way to the bottom and click Developer settings . 3. Personal Access Tokens: Click Personal access tokens Fine-grained tokens . 4. Generate New Token: Click Generate new token . You may be asked to confirm your password. 5. Configure the Basics: - Token name: Give it a name like AI-Agent-CLI . - Expiration: Set this to 90 days or whatever you’re comfortable with . - Description: “Token for AI CLI agent to manage pushes and commits.” 6. Repository Access: - Select Only select repositories . - Pick the specific repository you are using for your game e.g., your Pong or Bullet Hell repo . This ensures the AI can’t touch your other projects. 7. Permissions: Click the Permissions dropdown and set the following under Repository permissions : - Contents: Set to Read and write This allows the agent to commit and push code . - Metadata: Set to Read-only Usually set by default . - Workflows: Set to Read and write Optional—only if you want the AI to manage GitHub Actions . 8. Generate: Scroll to the bottom and click Generate token . Important: Copy that token immediately and save it in a secure place like a password manager . GitHub will never show it to you again.
