A playable Dungeons & Dragons–style game is built in PowerApps with Power Automate, Azure SQL Database and Power BI, generating GPT-3 backstories and DALL·E portraits on character creation, storing images in a blob storage account and presenting a live leaderboard via direct query to Azure SQL using computed URL fields. The app uses WASD movement driven by a 10 ms timer, PCF components for drag-and-drop inventory, four levels plus a boss dragon, and a discovered click-latency bug that is mitigated by client-side button blocking.
