Can: Create delightful puzzles like Sudoku. Meet “Sumplete.”
When a user asked ChatGPT to create a puzzle game like Sudoku, the chatbot rose to the challenge, though with some help from the human making the query, Daniel Tait.
Gizmodo’s Carlos Zahumenszky reports on ChatGPT’s number game:
Sumplete is similar to Sudoku, although its rules are different. Players are given grids with numbers that vary in difficulty. The basic one for beginners has three rows and three columns, increasing in difficult to 4×4, 5×5, 6×6, and so on. The most advanced grids are 9×9 and are really hard to solve.
Here’s how it works: Every cell in the grid has a number, and the end of every row and column have numbers, as well. To win the game, you must delete numbers in each cell so that the sum of the remaining numbers adds up to the target number besides each row and column.
There’s a trick, of course. When you delete a number in row, it also disappears from the column it crosses. The 3×3 version is so simple that it ends up being a bit disappointing. However, if you’re in for a challenge, increase the number of cells in the grid. It gets complicated and addictive really fast.
