Building a superhero game with Tencent's Youdianling: AI turns a silly idea playable
卡尔的AI沃茨 · wechat · 2026-10-09
The author recounts turning a whimsical question—what happens to a superhero dropped in a desert with no buildings?—into a playable jump-and-build game made with Tencent's Youdianling in just a few prompts. Players get 9 dirt tiles and must assign building heights (e.g. 1/5/3 floors) so the hero slingshots home efficiently; the game is publicly playable.
He also reviews Tencent's AI game bootcamp at Malanshan, where college students' first-ever games—like a seagull fry-stealing sim and a survival game with crafting, hunger, and monster mechanics—were all 100% AI-generated, backed by 40,000+ reusable assets, visual tuning panels, and one-click remixing.
His takeaway: solo creators once needed code, art, design, and music skills (his old pygame D&D clone died after one chapter), but now you supply the idea and judgment while AI handles the heavy lifting.
