TL;DR
What did u/sachin4594 use ChatGPT for?
Fed up with play limits in free mobile games, a ChatGPT user simply described the game they wanted and ended up with their own match-3 game that runs in a browser or as a phone web app. They now have their own game that plays in a browser or can be saved to a phone as a web app. They say ChatGPT understood even vague descriptions and did the right thing every time, and they plan to replace the games on their phone with ones they make.
What they did
They like playing simple mobile games on their commute, but free games like Candy Crush have play limits. So they described the game they wanted to ChatGPT: a match-3 game with multiple levels, special powers and a leaderboard. The visuals were drawn by ChatGPT as vector art, and they added royalty-free music. The first draft was playable, and they spent a few hours polishing it with big and small changes.
