Developer VirusDumb documented a failed attempt to create 'Amazing Digital Dentures', an AI-powered project inspired by the animated show The Amazing Digital Circus. The initial concept involved a digital pet that functioned as a gamified, over-engineered to-do list, which would send users on productivity-focused adventures. During development, the creator shifted the focus to an AI system capable of generating full browser-based games using the Nemotron 30b model.

The creator initially attempted to generate game code using long prompts but encountered frequent failures where the code failed to execute. Subsequent efforts to integrate specialized game engine skills from the awesome-copilot repository failed due to context window limitations. Even after increasing the context window and implementing RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation, a technique that retrieves external data to improve response accuracy) to distill game skills into a single text file, the model could not produce functional games, often resulting in blank screens.

Following these setbacks, the project was pivoted into a simpler HTML toymaker. The system now successfully creates basic HTML elements such as clocks and to-do lists, alongside simple games like Snake and Breakout. However, it remains unable to handle more complex logic, such as Tetris. The project is hosted on Hugging Face Spaces, and the developer is currently seeking suggestions for a new project direction.
