Learn by Playing

In this guide, you will learn how to use Kiro by completing tasks in the codebase for a sample video game called Spirit of Kiro.

95% of the code for Spirit of Kiro has been written by prompting Kiro. You are going to be using Kiro to fix bugs and add features to the game to complete it.

Spirit of Kiro is an infinite crafting game in which you can:

1. Discover unique, randomly generated objects
2. Utilize these items on each other via simulated interactions like "cut", "paint", "glue", "enchant". Item's combine, break apart, and change in response to these interactions.
3. Sell your resulting creations to an AI appraiser.

Every object in the game is generated by AI. Interactions between objects are also simulated by AI. This gives Spirit of Kiro infinite replayability and potential.

In the following diagram you can see how the game's core crafting mechanic works. The player has discovered two items: a spoon, and a glass jar of vegetables. The player can use the spoon to extract a sample of the vegetables.

While the game’s core loop is complete, the game is not quite done yet. There is an extensive roadmap for the game, full of additional ideas to build, and there a few bugs that have been left in the game on purpose so you can try out solving them using Kiro.

In this guide you will learn to use Kiro by completing a series of tasks on a challenge branch of the open source code for this game. Ready to get started? Let's go!
