I built my own game the long way. Months of work. Real money. A lot of nights where nothing ran.
Last week I drew a red car on paper. I took one photo of it. A few minutes later I was driving that same car in a game, escaping police cars, dodging traffic, watching my score climb.
My AI content has crossed over ten million views across Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook. I have built automations, agents, apps, websites, and more with AI for myself and for real businesses. Now I teach AI to millions of people across several countries, so they get ahead in the AI race.
This is the exact build. My real prompt, the real settings, and the two fixes I had to ask for. It is not written down anywhere else. And if you cannot draw, that is fine. A shaky pen drawing is all this needs. Mine took thirty seconds.
Why this suddenly works
AI could always write game code. That was never the blocker. The blocker was everything around the code.
You had to make the art. Open Blender yourself. Import the model into an engine yourself. Find sound. Test it. Every step was a different app and a different skill.
GPT-6 Astra came out on 3 September 2026. The new part is computer use. It operates the apps on the screen instead of telling you which buttons to press. It has been shown running Blender and Unreal Engine directly, and building browser games straight from a prompt.
OpenAI's own GPT-6 Astra pageSo the chain that used to take five apps and five skills now runs inside one chat. That is the whole shift. Everything below is just how to point it at your drawing.
Step 1: Get the two things you need
You need ChatGPT on a paid plan, because Astra is on Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise. You also need the Higgsfield plugin turned on inside ChatGPT.
Higgsfield is what makes the art look good. It generates the visual first, and the visual then becomes the game. That order matters. A prompt describing a car gives you a generic car. A generated car gives you your car.
Higgsfield's own setup page for ChatGPT and ClaudeYou should now see Higgsfield listed in your ChatGPT plugins. That is the whole setup. Two accounts, no install, no code editor, nothing to configure.
Step 2: Draw the thing, badly is fine
Paper and any pen. Draw the one object your game is about. A car, a ship, a character, a bird. Keep it simple and keep the outline clear.
Here is the part worth slowing down on, and it is the only real skill left in this whole process. Draw something you actually want to play. Not the thing you think will get downloads.
Astra can build the game. It cannot decide if the game is worth playing. If your art is AI, your idea is AI, and your name for it is AI, you have made the same thing as everyone else who typed the same prompt. Your drawing is the one part that is only yours. That is why we start here.
You should now have one drawing on paper, and a one line answer to what makes it fun. Both matter. The second one is the one people skip.
Step 3: Photograph it and upload it
One photo from directly above. Good light, no shadow across the paper, the whole drawing in frame. Your phone camera is fine.
Open ChatGPT, start a new chat, and upload the photo. Make sure Higgsfield is on for that chat. Do not describe the drawing yet. Let the image do it.
You should now see your drawing in the chat window. Nothing has happened yet. The next paste is where it turns into a game.
Step 4: Paste the prompt
This is the exact prompt I used, word for word, on the red car photo.
Turn the car drawing you just created into a playable game using Higgsfield. Create a desktop racing game controlled with the arrow keys, where I must escape the police, dodge the traffic, avoid crashes, and survive as long as possible while my score increases.
Read what that prompt is doing, because this is the template for anything else you make. It names the source, it names the tool, it names the controls, it names the goal, and it names how you lose. Five things. That is it.
Turn the drawing you just created into a playable game using Higgsfield. Create a desktop [TYPE] game controlled with [CONTROLS], where I must [MAIN GOAL], avoid [WHAT KILLS YOU], and keep going as long as possible while my score increases.
You should now see Astra working on its own. It will generate the visual, then build the game around it. This takes a few minutes. Do not interrupt it while it is running.
Step 5: Play it, then fix it in plain English
It will not be perfect on the first try. Mine was not. I asked for two changes and both took one sentence each.
I asked it to make the car smaller, because it filled too much of the screen. Then I asked it to pull the camera further back, so I could see the traffic coming. Play yours, notice the one thing that feels wrong, and say it plainly.
The [THING] feels [PROBLEM] when I play. Change it so that [WHAT YOU WANT INSTEAD]. Keep everything else the same.
You should now have a game that feels right to play, not just one that runs. That last line, keep everything else the same, is what stops it rebuilding things you already liked.
Step 6: Put it somewhere real
A game on your laptop is a demo. A game someone else can open is a product. Ask Astra to package it as a web build you can host, so you have a link to send.
Send that link to five people before you do anything else. Watch where they stop playing. That tells you more than any AI can.
My own game, AnyWorld AI, is live on the App Store. Getting there took real work after the build, and that part is still yours to do. But the build itself, the part that used to stop people before they started, is now an afternoon.
My game on the App Store, so you can see the finished end of thisYou have now gone from a pen drawing to something a stranger can play. Most people never finish that loop even once. You just did.
If it breaks
- The game looks nothing like your drawing: your photo had a shadow or a fold across it. Shoot it flat, from above, in daylight, and upload again.
- It writes code but never shows a game: ask it to run the game and show you the screen. Astra can operate the app itself, so tell it to.
- It rebuilt something you liked: add the line keep everything else the same to every fix request.
- The art looks generic: check Higgsfield is actually on for that chat. Without it you get a described object instead of a generated one.
- It stops halfway: say continue from where you stopped. Long builds sometimes pause and just need a nudge.
- You cannot find Astra in the model list: it is on paid ChatGPT plans. The free plan does not include it.
- Do I need to know how to code?
- No. You upload a photo and paste one prompt. Astra writes the code and runs the software itself. You only describe what you want in plain English.
- Do I need to be able to draw?
- No. Mine was a red car drawn in about thirty seconds with a normal pen. A clear outline is all it needs. Neat does not help.
- Is this free?
- No. Astra needs a paid ChatGPT plan, and Higgsfield is paid too. If you only want to try it once, that is a real cost to know about up front.
- What is computer use, in plain words?
- It means the AI clicks and types in real apps by itself. Older models could only tell you the steps. Astra does the steps.
- Can I make something other than a racing game?
- Yes. Use the blank prompt in step 4. Swap the type, the controls, the goal, and what kills you. The structure works for most simple games.
- Will my game actually make money?
- Building it is now cheap. Getting people to play it is not. Anyone promising you easy money from an AI built game is selling you something. Ship it, show it to real people, and learn from what they do.
- Do I need Blender or a game engine installed?
- Not for this build. Astra can drive Blender and Unreal directly when a project needs them, but a browser game from a drawing does not.
- This still feels too advanced. Where do I start?
- Start with the drawing. That is it. Draw one object today, take the photo, and paste the prompt in step 4 exactly as written. The rest is the AI doing the work.
