Getting Started

Quick-start material — what the platform does and where to begin.

• Platform overviewHow AI Chat Games works — the kinds of games you can build, how the engine runs your code, and where to look next.
• Creating gamesThe hands-on walkthrough of making a game — hit Create and describe what you want; the agent builds a working game you can play immediately; reshape it by chatting ("add a scoreboard", "make the detective more suspicious"); polish the Details (title, tagline, category, description, tags, cover art — the agent can fill these too); publish it to a public page and keep it updated; play someone else's game to get your own editable copy; and how credits and per-game spending limits fit in.
• How games workThe mental model behind every game — a React frontend in your browser plus a backend reducer running sandboxed on our servers; input events processed one at a time into a shared timeline of turns; ticks that let a game act on a clock without the player; many screens (your devices, or several players) connected to one running session; where the AI characters sit in the loop; and why cheating isn't a design consideration — players can always inspect, rewind and edit, so the designer's job is to make honest play the most fun path, not to enforce it. Ends with what the platform is and isn't good at.
• Background play, permissions & spending controlsSome games keep playing after you leave — with your permission. What background play is, how a game asks for it, how background actions spend credits, and where the controls live (game Settings — permissions, spending limit, pause). Notifications are a separate per-device permission.
