Show HN: Lil digi – play a platformer game as yourself
I've been monitoring some of the image generation progress for game sprites for a while and was really impressed by Gemini Flash. This demo lets you upload a picture and turns it into an animated pixel character (a lil digi gif that you can download). I chain together the pixel art frames and insert the player into a tricky platforming level.video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EK7z-HltssEapi usage: Unfortunately Gemini Flash 2.0 image Gen has really tight API limits that don't scale up for paid tiers -- if anyone on the team sees this and wants to help me out, my email is in my profile or you can reach me at hello@lildigi.melevel stats: For the speedrunners out there, the fastest glitchless times I've seen around 17-18s.stack: cloudflare pages + aws lambda + geminihappy to answer any questions!
