Create playable retro-style games with LLMs in minutes! Enter your prompt and your game pops open, it's that simple.

Push your imagination to the limit, it's 100% free and local.

Hardware Requirement

Infinity Arcade will detect the hardware you have available and load a recommended LLM.

Linux: click this

Overview

Infinity Arcade combines the convenience of a ChatGPT-like interface with the concept of a game emulator. Instead of emulating existing games, it uses LLMs (served by Lemonade) to generate completely new games based on your prompts, then lets you play them instantly.

Features

• Lemonade integration: automatically connects to Lemonade Server and has access to any Lemonade LLM.
• AI Game Generation: Describe a game concept and watch as an LLM creates a playable Python game.
• Game Library: All generated games are saved and can be replayed anytime.
• Easy Management: View game source code, copy prompts for remixing, and delete games you don't want with a simple click.

Installation

Windows

Navigate to the Releases page, download the .exe, and get started!

Linux (and Windows Devs)

From PyPI (recommended):

pip install infinity-arcade
infinity-arcade

From Source:

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/lemonade-sdk/infinity-arcade
   cd infinity-arcade

2. Install the package:

   pip install -e .

3. Run it:

   infinity-arcade

Architecture

Game Generation

Games are generated with the following constraints:

• Pure Python using the pygame library only.
• No external images, sounds, or asset files.
• Complete and playable with proper game mechanics.
• Proper event handling and game loops.
• Visual appeal using pygame's built-in drawing functions.

Note: LLMs are imperfect, and may fail to generate the game you asked for or fail to generate a functioning game at all.

Game Cache

Games are cached under the .infinity-arcade folder in your home directory.

~/.infinity-arcade/
└── games/
    ├── metadata.json    # Game titles and descriptions
    ├── abc12345.py      # Generated game files
    └── xyz67890.py

Troubleshooting

"Server Offline" Status

• Ensure Lemonade Server is running on http://localhost:8000.
• Check that you have models installed in Lemonade Server by opening the model manager: http://localhost:8000/#model-management.
• Visit lemonade-server.ai for setup instructions.

Game Won't Launch

• Check the generated code for any syntax errors.
• Try regenerating the game with a more specific prompt.

Generation Failures

• Try a simpler game concept.
• Make sure your selected model supports code generation.
• Check the infinity-arcade and Lemonade Server logs for errors.

Examples

Here are some example prompts that work well:

• Classic Games: "pong", "tetris", "pacman maze game", "asteroids"
• Variations: "snake but food teleports", "breakout with power-ups", "flappy bird in space"
• Original Ideas: "catching falling stars", "color matching puzzle", "maze with moving walls"

Contributing

Contributions are welcome! Feel free to:

• Share interesting game prompts and results by opening an issue!
• Report bugs or request features via GitHub issues.
• Submit pull requests for improvements.
