This combination of open-source + tutorials has been incredibly rewarding.

There’s nothing better than hearing, “Oh, never mind, I just found your tutorial.”

What’s working well for you in Developer Education? Let’s compare notes!

What makes this approach effective:

• Hands-on learning: Developers can clone, run, and modify the repos.

• Immediate value: Tutorials bridge the gap between code and implementation.

• Real-world examples: These aren’t toy projects—they solve actual problems.

The formula:

1. Build an example architecture for a real-world use case.

2. Open-source the code as a companion repository.

3. Write a tutorial that explains how to implement it step by step.

This combo makes concepts actionable.

Try It Out

Customize your YAML, define your own agent roles, or pick a new game concept—CrewAI will coordinate the entire AI-driven pipeline.

Why CrewAI Matters

It’s not just for games.

You can chain specialized agents for anything: blog posts (writer + editor), product specs (engineering + legal), or doc creation (researcher + fact-checker).

Get It Running

Create a new Poetry project, install dependencies, and set your OpenAI key.

poetry run python3 main.py will prompt you to choose a game scenario and produce a fully functional Python script.

It’s all run sequentially with a Crew:

1. Code generation by the Senior Engineer agent
2. QA checks by the QA Engineer
3. Final sign-off from the Chief QA Engineer
April 16, 2025 at 4:00 PM
Example Setup

Agents YAML: Defines your game dev, QA, and chief QA roles.

Tasks YAML: Step-by-step instructions (generate code → review → final validation).

Game Design YAML: The actual game requirements (Pac-Man style or whichever idea you fancy).
