About the Book
Welcome to Vibe Coding Video Games with Python. In this book, you will learn how to use artificial intelligence to create mini-games. You will attempt to recreate the look and feel of various classic video games. The intention is not to violate copyright or anything of the sort, but instead to learn the limitations and the power of AI.
Instead, you will simply be learning about whether or not you can use AI to help you know how to create video games. Can you do it with no previous knowledge, as the AI proponents say? Is it really possible to create something just by writing out questions to the ether?
You will be using various large language models (LLMs) such as Google Gemini, Grok, Mistral, CoPilot, and others to create these games. You will discover the differences and similarities between these tools. You may be surprised to find that some tools give much more context than others.
AI is certainly not a cure-all and is far from perfect. You will quickly discover AI’s limitations and learn some strategies for solving those kinds of issues.

You’ll be creating “clones” of some popular games. However, these games will only be the first level and may or may not be fully functional.
