It's been a while since I've posted on DEV, and I have been consistently working on helicity.ai. ✨💙

The cool part is that helicity is finally in good shape! Here are some interface and functionality highlights. And then we'll talk about Google Ad Money🫰💵

Projects Page

This is a Route in React (/projects) and uses firebase RTDB to look into your pojects and list them out. Might be moving to Firestore soon

IDE Code Editor

This is the /ide route in react and consists of the monaco code editor component to make it look like VSCode. Also the code is autosynced to the firebase RTDB.

Here is how the autosave works. Just a little sneak peak into the backend in express.

AI Game Maker

The part which makes helicity what it is. What I did was teach GPT3.5 my game engine and then make it write code in that.

A game description is taken from you, and those parameters decide what kind of code the AI writes.

Keep in mind that AI is just an add on and this is a fully functioning game engine on its own!

Publish your Game and Get a Shareable link in 12 seconds

After you have coded your game, when you press the play button it opens up a new tab on app.helicity.ai/games/some-id and you can share this link with all your friends!
Here is a slither io like snake movement prototype. Bones randomly spawn on the screen as black blocks and then arrange themselves into a snake of red rings.

This code is a template on our site and you can tweak the snake length and size!

const NODE_SIZE = 20; 
// The size of each bone in pixels
//you can change the snake bone to anything ex "lookup: elon musk face"
const NODE_IMAGE = "lookup: red circle png"; 
// The image source of each node
const TENDON_LENGTH = 2; 
// The maximum distance between two nodes
const LENGTH = 100;
// The initial number of nodes

Here is the game link.
Snakey

Game Monetisation - The AI Money Minting Engine

A few days back I just realised that the Google H5 beta Ads can be used because this is a pure HTML5 Game engine so that's what I'm working on now!

With a function to call Display ads and Rewarded ads so any developer can plug them, and after 1000 plays on a game or 1000 ad views, you can earn some $!
Payouts would be managed by stripe and automated by cloud functions that keep track of how much your game has been played.

Thanks for reading! I know this was a short post but I realllyy wanted to share what I've been working on. If you have any feedback please join our discord server

I also recently made a 🐦twitter or x or whatever account specifically for helicity, and I drop in my progress everyday.
