A tech company has created an online King’s Coronation game in just 24 hours using Artifical Intelligence.

Burnley-based +24 used artificial intelligence, including ChatGPT, to create the new computer game, King Charles Dash.

Within just a few hours of the game being released on Friday lunchtime (May 5), thousands of people were playing to help King Charles get to the Coronation on time.

The free game, which works on mobile and browser, scores players on how far they can get King Charles’ carriage through the streets of London, dodging traffic and potholes.

The game was created by founder of +24, Dave Walker and his team who used five different AI programmes to take on as many development tasks as possible, in just one day.

Dave said: “It’s a bit of a quirky game, but that’s what we wanted. We have been exploring AI as a business for a while, and are interested in how we can pass on our skills to clients.

“On Thursday morning (May 4), I sat the team down and told them they had a day to come up with a game using AI.

“The Coronation is the biggest event in the world this weekend, so obviously that was one of the prompts we went with, and the results speak for themselves.”

The team of developers at +24 used AI to build all aspects of the game, including the catchy soundtrack, but as the image generating software was not quite up to scratch, they added their own images.

For every 1,000 attempts to reach a high score of the game, +24 will donate £1 to Rossendale Hospice charity.

Dave added: “I would say upwards of 80 per cent of the game was made with AI.

“This technology is phenomenal, and it’s only going to get better, so companies need to embrace it, otherwise they’ll fall foul of business potholes.

“This was a fun way of exploring new tools and technology, and when we get round to it, we’re going to write up a white paper on how we used AI to build the game.

“Or we could just get AI to write it.”
