I've been experimenting with something in a similar space with JavaScript called "Paint AI" https://paintai.groupmind.co.uk

Here I've created a basic Paint program with no pens, brushes or other drawing tools. Instead you get the AI to create the painting tools for you and it writes, tests and deploys the JavaScript for you live, usually within 30 seconds.

It only uses OpenAI's gpt-3.5-turbo model too which is fast and good enough for this use case.

Any feedback while it works? I tried describing a spray paint tool and it just reverted back to the original screen. I waited a few minutes...
It is "experimental". The AI sometimes produces code that doesn't fully work (this is part of the fun). Refresh and try again. It works 90% of the time I would say.
Very cool! I tried three:

My brush should...

- behave like a spray can

- paint randomly like a fire hose

- draw dog faces

The first two worked great, third one less so :) What a fun idea, I love it.

It works for me in Chrome, but in Firefox when I click the create button it just refreshes the page
Ouch - thanks for the feedback!
