ChatGPT vs Gemini: Who Can Create Fortnite Better?

The Challenge: Creating Fortnite

Have you ever wondered which AI can create a better version of Fortnite? In this exciting challenge, we put ChatGPT and Gemini to the test. Both AI models are tasked with developing a playable Fortnite clone in just 15 minutes. The stakes are high, and the results are sure to amaze!

What is ChatGPT?

ChatGPT is an advanced AI language model developed by OpenAI. It excels in generating human-like text and can assist in various tasks, including coding. In our challenge, ChatGPT is expected to create a 3D game with building features similar to Fortnite. The AI's ability to understand prompts and generate code quickly will be crucial in this race.

What is Gemini?

Gemini is another powerful AI coding tool that has gained popularity for its game development capabilities. Users have praised it for its ability to produce complex code efficiently. In this challenge, Gemini will also attempt to create a Fortnite clone, and we are eager to see how it compares to ChatGPT.

AI Model	Strengths	Weaknesses
ChatGPT	Fast coding, human-like text generation	May hallucinate or misinterpret prompts
Gemini	Strong game development features	Can struggle with rendering and execution

• Both AIs will create a 3D Fortnite clone.
• ChatGPT focuses on quick code generation.
• Gemini aims for complex game mechanics.

How ChatGPT Approaches the Task

ChatGPT takes on the challenge of creating a Fortnite clone by diving into coding right away. It starts by generating code using 3JS, which is a popular library for creating 3D graphics in the browser. The initial coding process is quick, and within minutes, it produces a playable version. However, the first iteration has some quirks, like reversed controls. Despite this, the base is solid and can be improved.

Initial Coding Process

The coding begins with a simple prompt asking for a 3D game with building features. ChatGPT quickly outputs code that allows for basic movement and building mechanics. Although the graphics are not top-notch, the functionality is impressive for a first attempt. The user can even toggle build mode, which adds a layer of interactivity.

First Impressions and Features

After testing the initial version, the user finds that it resembles Minecraft more than Fortnite. However, the ability to build and use a shotgun adds excitement. The user requests enhancements, like better graphics and more Fortnite-like aesthetics. ChatGPT responds well, adding features like reloading and shooting mechanics, which impresses the user.

Feature	ChatGPT	Gemini
Initial Coding Speed	Fast	Slow
Graphics Quality	Basic	Poor
Building Mechanics	Present	Absent
Gameplay Functionality	Good	Limited

• ChatGPT uses 3JS for 3D graphics.
• Initial controls are reversed but functional.
• Building features are included.
• User can toggle build mode.
• Improvements requested for graphics and gameplay.

Gemini's Game Development Process

Gemini is a powerful tool for game development, especially when creating a Fortnite clone. Its process begins with coding, where it integrates various features like physics and graphics. The aim is to replicate the mechanics of popular games while ensuring a smooth user experience. However, the initial attempts can sometimes lead to unexpected results, such as a game that feels more like Minecraft than Fortnite. This highlights the importance of refining the code and adjusting the game mechanics to achieve the desired outcome.

Coding Challenges

While using Gemini, developers often face challenges in coding. For instance, integrating building features and ensuring that the controls work as intended can be tricky. In one attempt, the game produced a black screen, indicating that the code had errors. This is a common issue when working with AI coding tools, as they may not always interpret prompts correctly. Developers need to be patient and ready to troubleshoot, making adjustments to the code until the game functions properly.

Final Output and Comparison

After several iterations, Gemini can produce a playable version of a Fortnite clone. However, the results can vary significantly compared to other tools like ChatGPT. For example, while ChatGPT might create a game with better graphics and smoother gameplay, Gemini may struggle with basic functionalities. This comparison shows that while both tools have their strengths, ChatGPT currently leads in creating a more polished game experience.

Feature	ChatGPT	Gemini
Graphics Quality	High	Medium
Gameplay Mechanics	Smooth	Challenging
Building Features	Implemented	Needs Work
User Experience	Engaging	Frustrating

• Gemini's strengths lie in its coding capabilities.
• ChatGPT excels in creating visually appealing games.
• Both tools require user input for best results.
• Iterative testing is crucial for game development.
