ChatGPT SwiftUI Christmas Tree 2024

Over the past couple of years (2022, 2023) I’ve compared the output of the following prompt to ChatGPT:

Draw a Christmas tree using SwiftUI

For 2024 I chose the GPT-4o model, and this is what it output:

import SwiftUI

struct ChristmasTreeView: View {
    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            // Background color
            Color.blue
                .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
            
            // Tree
            VStack(spacing: -20) {
                Triangle()
                    .fill(Color.green)
                    .frame(width: 150, height: 100)
                Triangle()
                    .fill(Color.green)
                    .frame(width: 180, height: 120)
                Triangle()
                    .fill(Color.green)
                    .frame(width: 210, height: 140)
                
                // Tree trunk
                Rectangle()
                    .fill(Color.brown)
                    .frame(width: 40, height: 60)
            }
            .offset(y: 50)
            
            // Star on top
            StarShape()
                .fill(Color.yellow)
                .frame(width: 40, height: 40)
                .offset(y: -170)
            
            // Decorations (Ornaments)
            Circle()
                .fill(Color.red)
                .frame(width: 15, height: 15)
                .offset(x: -40, y: -60)
            Circle()
                .fill(Color.yellow)
                .frame(width: 15, height: 15)
                .offset(x: 50, y: -30)
            Circle()
                .fill(Color.white)
                .frame(width: 15, height: 15)
                .offset(x: -30, y: 20)
            Circle()
                .fill(Color.blue)
                .frame(width: 15, height: 15)
                .offset(x: 40, y: 60)
        }
    }
}

// Triangle shape for the tree
struct Triangle: Shape {
    func path(in rect: CGRect) -> Path {
        Path { path in
            path.move(to: CGPoint(x: rect.midX, y: rect.minY))
            path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rect.minX, y: rect.maxY))
            path.addLine(to: CGPoint(x: rect.maxX, y: rect.maxY))
            path.closeSubpath()
        }
    }
}

// Star shape for the top of the tree
struct StarShape: Shape {
    func path(in rect: CGRect) -> Path {
        let points = [
            CGPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0),
            CGPoint(x: 0.61, y: 0.35),
            CGPoint(x: 1, y: 0.35),
            CGPoint(x: 0.68, y: 0.57),
            CGPoint(x: 0.79, y: 0.91),
            CGPoint(x: 0.5, y: 0.7),
            CGPoint(x: 0.21, y: 0.91),
            CGPoint(x: 0.32, y: 0.57),
            CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0.35),
            CGPoint(x: 0.39, y: 0.35)
        ].map { CGPoint(x: $0.x * rect.width, y: $0.y * rect.height) }
        
        return Path { path in
            path.move(to: points[0])
            for point in points.dropFirst() {
                path.addLine(to: point)
            }
            path.closeSubpath()
        }
    }
}

struct ChristmasTreeView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
    static var previews: some View {
        ChristmasTreeView()
    }
}

Which generated:

This is the best one yet! I didn’t have to add or change any code to make it work, it added ornaments and even a (floating 😀) star! 🎄
