quick break from building 🐍🗽

Fun little recursion: Product Design plugin helped us design the tool that evaluates the Product Design plugin. Cringe prompt > a few mocks > Annotation edits > working eval viewer in under 60 mins. Internal tools don't have to look like internal tools.

interesting! ill keep a close eye on that issue. check out the CSS tweaks in annotation mode if you haven't already!

ImageGen 2.0 is something else.

👀 codex at it again. this time a quick prototype set in brooklyn, street clothes and a fresh hip hop track.

codex is really good at providing specs so remember to ask for them if you're unsure. here's another example town assets. tip: remind chatgpt to use transparent pngs. often it'll forget. "tileset-ground.png 16x16 tile grid, transparent background Include: grass variants, path variants, edge tiles houses.png 3 house exteriors, each same footprint (recommended 112x96 = 7x6 tiles at 16px) nature-pack.png Trees, shrubs, flowers, fence pieces, signposts (all snapped to 16px grid) props.png Lamp posts, mailbox, rocks, benches, etc. Important export rules: Transparent background No blur, no glow, no anti-aliasing Crisp pixel edges only lets also create the rest of the art for the environment. remember to use transparent pngs"

yes! here's a few examples from chatgpt /image "Create an original top-down retro RPG pixel-art character sprite sheet. Transparent background. 3 columns x 4 rows, each frame 24x24 px, total canvas 72x96 px. Row 1 facing down, row 2 facing left, row 3 facing right, row 4 facing up. Column 1 idle, column 2 walk step 1, column 3 walk step 2. Keep silhouette bold and readable at small size, dark outline, 12-16 color palette, crisp nearest-neighbor pixel style, no anti-aliasing, no blur, no branding or copyrighted characters. Negative Prompt no smooth shading, no painterly style, no 3D render, no soft edges, no gradients, no text, no watermark, no background scene. Optional Extras (Nice Upgrade) player-shadow.png — 12x6 px, soft dark oval, transparent background. portrait.png — 32x32 px I have grey hair, a mullet and a moustache"
