An engineer created an AI agent capable of building Rollercoaster Tycoon-influenced theme parks based on user prompts. The agent can generate cohesive parks with multiple themed worlds, connected paths, and various rides.
The agent's development utilized concepts from building AI-generated websites that adhere to a company's design system. The core idea involves establishing rules and guardrails to ensure generated content, whether UI or a theme park, maintains coherence and specific characteristics rather than defaulting to generic AI outputs.
In web design, rules dictate typography, colors, spacing, and component usage. For theme parks, analogous rules include ensuring rollercoasters have complete tracks, rides are accessible via paths, paths connect different areas, and themed worlds use appropriate scenery. The developer noted the similarity between ensuring a coherent product UI and a coherent theme park.
The agent incorporates an evaluation loop where a generated park is graded against a rubric. This rubric checks for valid rollercoaster tracks, ride accessibility, appropriate themed scenery, and overall park functionality. The agent then updates its rules and skill files based on this feedback, iteratively improving its park generation capabilities.
After numerous iterations, the agent can now generate fully functional parks complete with guests, rides, paths, rollercoasters, and themed worlds from simple prompts. Users can observe guests interacting with the park, riding attractions, and expressing thoughts.
