How to Build an AI Pixel Art Generator with AI Pass SDK

Create a retro-style pixel art generator using AI. Your users pay directly for image generation — you earn 50% commission on every generation.

What You'll Build

A pixel art generator that:

Accepts text descriptions
Generates retro-style images
Offers multiple pixel styles (8-bit, 16-bit, game)
Downloads in high resolution
Handles billing automatically

Prerequisites

Basic HTML, CSS, JavaScript
A free AI Pass account
An OAuth2 Client ID

Step 1: Create AI Pass Account & OAuth2 Client

Sign up and verify email
Go to Developer Dashboard
Create OAuth2 Client → copy your Client ID (looks like client_XXXX...)
This Client ID tracks your API calls for 50% commission

Step 2: Build the App
