AI Game Jam Prompt Repo

I am participating in a 45-minute TRIO Olympics AI Game Jam. The theme is "TRIO: Path to the Future." Every team is building a Zelda-like browser game where a TRIO scholar explores a world, collects resources, defeats obstacles, and levels up toward college, career, and personal success. Give me 3 simple game concepts that are fun, replayable, and realistic to build quickly with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Replit AI.

Help me research the TRIO Upward Bound mission and turn it into game ideas. Focus on college readiness, confidence, study skills, leadership, mentoring, financial preparation, and overcoming obstacles. Give me a list of challenges, power-ups, bosses, and quests that would make sense in a Zelda-like game called "TRIO: Path to the Future." Keep the ideas student-friendly and action-packed.

Design a simple addictive game loop for my Zelda-like TRIO game. Include: player objective, map layout, controls, enemies, one boss, power-ups, scoring, health, win condition, lose condition, difficulty progression, and replayability. Keep it simple enough for Replit AI to build in about 30 minutes.

You are my game design director. Write a complete handoff specification for Replit AI to build my browser game. Format it clearly with sections for title, story, gameplay loop, player controls, enemies, boss, power-ups, map, UI, visual style, sound effects, scoring, win/lose screens, required files, MVP features, and stretch goals. The game should be Zelda-like, fast to build, and connected to TRIO Upward Bound.

Build this as a complete browser game using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Make it Zelda-like with a top-down player, tile-style world, collectibles, enemies, one boss, score, health, increasing difficulty, restart button, win screen, game-over screen, keyboard controls, simple mobile controls, sound effects, particle effects, and polished UI. Keep the code clean and organized. Use only files that will run in Replit.

Create a Zelda-like top-down browser game called "TRIO: Path to the Future." The player is a TRIO scholar exploring the Future Realm. They collect Knowledge, Mentors, Scholarships, Confidence, Study Skills, and Leadership. Enemies are Procrastination, Self-Doubt, Distraction, Financial Stress, and Fear of Failure. Add a boss named Burnout. The player wins by collecting enough power-ups and defeating Burnout. Add score, health, increasing difficulty, simple map obstacles, particles, sounds, restart, and a polished game-over screen.

Explain HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Canvas, Phaser.js, Three.js, and p5.js like digital Lego pieces for a beginner. Tell me which pieces are the basic web blocks and which are optional add-ons. Then recommend which pieces I should use for a simple Zelda-like TRIO game in Replit.

Upgrade this game to use Phaser.js if it makes the code cleaner. Keep the same TRIO Zelda-like concept. Add a top-down player, collisions, collectibles, enemies, boss, score, health, restart, and a polished scene flow. Explain what Phaser is doing in the code.

Create a simple Three.js version or bonus scene for this TRIO game. Make a small 3D Future Realm where the player collects glowing power-ups and avoids obstacle enemies. Keep controls simple and performance smooth. Explain how Three.js is being used as an add-on library.

Use p5.js to add creative visual effects to this TRIO game. Add particle bursts when collecting power-ups, simple animated backgrounds, and satisfying feedback when the player defeats an obstacle. Keep the core game simple and playable.

Make this game feel more satisfying to play. Add game juice: screen shake, hit flashes, sound effects, collectible sparkle, enemy defeat particles, score popups, smoother movement, better button styling, clearer instructions, and a more exciting win/lose screen. Do not break the existing gameplay.

The game has a bug. Inspect the code, explain what is likely wrong in simple language, then fix it. Keep the current features. After fixing, give me a quick test checklist so I know what to click or play to confirm it works.

Give my TRIO Zelda-like game one challenge-card feature. Choose one: boss battle, NPC mentor, hidden scholarship treasure, leaderboard, weather effect, day/night cycle, shop, upgrade system, random event, mini-map, combo system, or secret area. Explain the simplest version and then write a Replit-ready prompt to add it.

Help us write a 30-second arcade pitch for our TRIO Olympics game. Include the game title, what challenge it represents, how to play, what power-ups mean, what the player learns, and what we would add with more time. Keep it energetic and easy to say out loud.
