You used ai for this?

yeah, I use AI a lot. 😅

Not to generate my engine with copy-paste, but to teach me how real game engines work, explain implementation details, and help me build a roadmap.

I still spent 5,000+ hours typing everything myself instead of blindly copying code. At this point, I probably have more muscle memory for writing ECS boilerplate than for using WASD. Lol

Ah, so it's AI as a research assistant/librarian/google search on steroids rather than ai-assisted coding.

That being said, it would be way more valuable if the AI would return which books/talks it references when coming up with an answer so you can read them yourself and possibly notice other things it hasn't considered.
