This is a variant of the common hand game Chopsticks that was mostly me exploring AI image generation. I wanted to see whether I could add or remove fingers from a hand using an image generation model and ultimately got pretty decent results. (I used Photoshop's) 

The one visual asset in this game comes from https://www.freepik.com/free-photo/hand-with-spread-finger_1099411.htm#from_view. Everything else is an AI-generated variation of this asset. There is also exactly one sound asset.

I made one mistake by picking a hand whose palm was facing the screen, which resulted in fingers looking like they got amputated rather than folded. I decided to go with it because it took me way too long to edit the picture.

Due to the fact that the assets are AI-generated, I was able to modify the game to have a theoretically unlimited number of fingers on each hand. This means that the game has a rollover number (number of fingers) of 8 instead of 5.

Here are the rules:

  • On your turn, you can tap an opponent's hand with yours to give them more fingers
  • If the number of fingers reaches 8 (normally, this number is 5) the hand dies (goes to zero). If it reaches a number larger than 8 (e.g. 9), it resets to that number minus 8.
  • Dead hands cannot be used. If both of a player's hands die, the player loses
