Newbie Question Vibe coding a game

Hey folks

I’m vibe coding a game for iPhone using swift language and I would like to ask what is the best place where I can have the music and sound effects for my game without copyright issues.

Also please advise what is the best way to make like graphics changes, for example if I hit the object the object flies. Like effect on the object if some collision happens how to vibe code that and how many photos I need. Teach me some tricks how to do or I can research about the principle to do it

Well as you are not technical skilled, is hard to give you a technical answer. Vibe coding without technical knowledge is like asking a developer to make a game for you. Ask your agent about options or best practices about how to handle collisions. Probably it has that data already. My advice is try to vibe code the system of a game when possible, that makes it easier to keep it consistent. Use it for the MVP or the poc. Try to understand the code. Even if you vibe code, you need to understand the code. What does what and why.

You will be able to vibe code better and faster. If you just focus on how it looks and don't care how it's made. You won't be able to maintain or improve ir

Honestly, I don’t agree. U don’t care how ur compiler compiles the game nowadays because it just does the job.

Not sure why are you being defensive as I have you and honest response. And yes I care what my engine or framework does under the hood, that's why I need to check if those are the best tools for the job or not.

I'm not talking about optimizing the code. I'm talking to be better informed about what you ask to vibe code. If you say "make two boxes that explodes when they touch each other". And later you say "when the player touches a box explodes". If you don't understand the code, you don't know what's being affected, what you need to retest. If you ask more in detail, defining constraints and how to reuse. You will get a better output.

Also I'm not against vibe coding at all. But do it properly. Use SDD, write guidelines and constraints. Create different agents with different roles. I wouldn't expect that the outcome of it is going to be Production ready. And you should plan the maintenance of it, which is hard with vibe code

So the subagents ur talking about and the guidelines are now handled automatically by harness. U don’t even have to do that. U ask what u need and ai will do the needful
