Does ChatGPT host the game it writes?

No. It writes code and gives it to you. You choose where it runs, and a static host is enough for most browser games.

Can I put a ChatGPT-made game on itch.io?

Yes, if it is an HTML5 game: zip it with index.html at the top level and mark the file to be played in the browser. itch.io has its own rules and file limits, so read its current docs.

Why did the code stop partway or leave out parts?

Replies have a length limit, and models sometimes write a note instead of repeating unchanged code. Ask for the missing part by name, or ask for the game in separate files.

How do I test a ChatGPT game on a phone?

Open the hosted link on the phone. A desktop browser's device mode is a start, but a real phone shows touch and speed problems that it hides.

I made a game with ChatGPT. Where do I share it and get players?

ChatGPT writes the code, but it doesn't put the game online. Copy the code into files, test it from a real address, then upload it to a static host and list the link on Foundplay. Check every library link ChatGPT added, because a game that runs in a chat preview can break on a real page.

From chat to a link

Make a folder and save the code as index.html. If the game came in separate pieces, ask for 'a single file with the style and script inline'.
Open it in a browser. Fix errors by pasting the console message back into the chat.
Upload the folder to a static host: GitHub Pages, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, or a zip on itch.io. Each has a free option, so check its current limits.
Open the hosted address on your phone in a private window.

Whatever preview ChatGPT shows you is a view inside the chat, not a public site. Players need a link of their own.

Check the libraries it picked

Chat-written games often load a library from a web address in a <script src> tag. Open each address and check that it loads and that the version exists. A model can write a link that doesn't exist, or one that points to an old version. Better still, download the library file, put it in your folder and load it from there, so the game doesn't depend on someone else's server.

Placeholders and cut-off answers

When you ask for changes to a long file, a reply sometimes says things like 'the rest of the code stays the same'. If you paste that over your file, the rest is gone. Search the file for 'existing code', 'rest of' and 'TODO' before you save. Keep the previous version of the file until the new one has played through.

If the game talks to an AI service

A key for an AI service must stay on a server you run, and a spending limit protects you if a post does well. The AI games guide has the details.

Where to post it

Start with the genre communities for the game, then places where people show what they built with AI tools. Read each one's rules on self-promotion first, and post once.

How Foundplay can help

Foundplay is a game discovery platform for free browser games. It doesn't host games: every listing sends players to the creator's own site.

The free listing

Listing a game is free. Paste the link where people play it at /submit, check the details and publish. The game goes live right away, and Play sends players to your own site.

Paste the address of the hosted copy. Foundplay lists AI-made games next to every other kind of browser game, and a note in the description about how it was made is fine.

Boost, the paid option

Foundplay sells Boost, so it has a reason to want you to buy it. The free listing works without it.

Starter shows how strangers respond to your cover before you spend time on a bigger push. A play counts the click, and your own analytics show what the player did next.

The Starter plan costs $5 for 50 plays in 3 days, which works out to 10¢ a play. Where it shows: its genre pages and search results.

A play is a counted click on Play from a sponsored spot, the same way public play counts work: once per game per network a day. Every sponsored spot is labelled Sponsored, and the share of plays not delivered by the end of the plan's days is refunded automatically. Foundplay can't see what players do after the click. Fan games and copies of commercial games can't be boosted. A game has to be listed before it can be boosted. List it first, or start a Boost and add your play link there, and Foundplay lists the game for free as part of the same flow.

For scale, Foundplay's own visit counter shows an average of 4,500+ visitors a day over the last three full days, and 600+ games are listed. It updates every few minutes.
