Usually my Hackster projects are inventions, but this time around I put together something pretty different. I recently made and released a site that's full of free online games that can be played with friends called donutsorelse.games. It's a blast and reached a point where it was stable enough to share it with the world, but I still continue finding and fixing issues to this day. So, I automated a way to take relevant YouTube comments and turn it into live fixes and enhancements.
To make this extra fun for people, this also includes being able to request a new game. This means that by just dropping a comment, people can watch their game ideas come to life automatically and play them for free.
How it WorksI wanted to ensure that people had a platform for giving feedback, whether that's bug fixes, feature requests, game ideas, etc. I showcased the site on my YouTube channel and realized it'd be the perfect place for people to get to leave a comment when they have something to say about the site. When they leave a comment on either of the relevant videos, it is processed by AI and turned into meaningful live changes on donutsorelse.games.
The program I put together is fully autonomous and uses multiple forms of AI. It starts off with an Ollama model that determines the intent of the comment. Is it something relevant? Is it malicious? Is it reasonable? If we get the go ahead from that model, it goes through a different Ollama model that is more code-focused to determine if it's malicious as well. We put the comment and notes into an inbox if it's a change that we should make, and then we prompt Copilot to iterate through and do all the actual programming fixes.
Bad Idea?This is fully autonomous, meaning that we go from feedback to changes being pushed to live without human intervention.
So, I do feel the need to call out that this isn't necessarily the best idea, and I want people to understand that I understand that. Like I talk about in the video briefly, this is something of a proof of concept. AI still makes a lot of stupid mistakes in coding, so just trusting it to run completely on its own is definitely on the risky side. But, thus far the flow I've set up has been working really well and the results have been good (in my tests, anyway). It's also a big win that this setup improves simply as time goes on, where all the AI models involved will just steadily get better.
I think my next iteration of this would be to have an Ollama model also code review changes. I think realistically, though, I'd be looking to completely redo this flow even though it's been good thus far before I used this for any bigger projects. The challenge would be to get it in a state where it can somehow fully confirm that the changes are definitely positive, and that would likely involve also somehow automating AI testing as well.
CodeI did go ahead and share the main script that runs the show here. I was debating whether that was a good idea or not, but if reading the code gives people ideas on how to exploit some sort of issue, that means there are vulnerabilities to fix. Plus, what good is a Hackster post with no code?
To Wrap it UpFor anyone that missed the original video that announced and details the donutsorelse.games, you can check that out here:
Like I said, this is a very different post than I usually do but hopefully you enjoyed the journey. Have a good one.
