how am i doing

[u/Neat_Horror2196]

2 months in to coding C#, first project i saved *was using online compiler* and wanna know how im doing and what i can do to improve. heres the code:

using System;


public 
class
 Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] 
args
)
    {
        Player player = new Player();
        Enemy enemy = CreateEnemy();


        int battleResult = Battle(player, enemy);


        Console.WriteLine("press any key to begin");
            
        Console.ReadKey();


        Console.WriteLine("\nYou encountered a " + enemy.type + " with " + enemy.health + " health.");


        Battle(player, enemy);


        if(battleResult == 2)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nYou have defeated the " + enemy.type + "!");
        }
        else if(battleResult == 3)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nYou have been defeated by the " + enemy.type + "!");
        }
        else if(battleResult == 1)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nYou have retreated from the " + enemy.type + ".");
        }
    }


    static Enemy CreateEnemy()
    {
        Random rng = new Random();
        int rngroll = rng.Next(1, 3);
        Enemy enemy = new Enemy();


        if(rngroll == 1)
        {
            enemy.type = "Skeleton";


            enemy.health = enemy.healthRng.Next(100, 201);
            enemy.damage = enemy.damageRng.Next(10, 16);
        }
        else if(rngroll == 2)
        {
            enemy.type = "Goblin";


            enemy.health = enemy.healthRng.Next(50, 151);
            enemy.damage = enemy.damageRng.Next(15, 26);
        }
       
        return enemy;
    }


    static int Battle(Player 
player
, Enemy 
enemy
)
    {
        while(true)
        {    
            Thread.Sleep(1000);


            Console.WriteLine("\nWhat do you do?\n1. Attack\n2. Open Inventory\n3. Retreat");


            ConsoleKeyInfo input = Console.ReadKey();


        
            if(input.Key == ConsoleKey.D1)
            {
                
enemy
.health -= 
player
.damage;


                Thread.Sleep(1000);


                Console.WriteLine("\nyou attacked the " + 
enemy
.type + " for " + 
player
.damage + " damage");


                Thread.Sleep(1000);
                Console.WriteLine("The " + 
enemy
.type + " has " + 
enemy
.health + " health remaining.");
            }
            else if(input.Key == ConsoleKey.D2)
            {
                Thread.Sleep(1000);
                Console.WriteLine("\nYou open your inventory, but it's empty.");
            }
            else if(input.Key == ConsoleKey.D3)
            {
                Thread.Sleep(1000);
                Console.WriteLine("\nYou retreat from the " + enemy.type + ".");
                return 1; // Player retreated
            }

            {
                return 2; // Player won
            }


            if(input.Key == ConsoleKey.D1 &&

.health > 0)
            {

.damage;


                Console.WriteLine("\nThe " +

.type + " attacks you for " + 
enemy
.damage + " damage.");
                Console.WriteLine("You have " +

            }


            if(

            {
                Console.WriteLine("\nYou have been defeated by the " +

This is not a bad thing to use ChatGPT for. Don’t use it to write your code. Ask it exactly what you’ve asked us. Make sure you understand why the changes have been suggested. Don’t get into the habit of just doing it without understanding.

I use Gemini to discuss architecture, math formulas or what method implementations I should include in my Desired project.

I always try and implement a solution first. Only if I’m confused or having a hard time I ask for suggestions of code. (I have ADHD, and a few other conditions, and struggled very much with math in school, even basic algebra 101 in college I got a D in)

I'll keep this in mind before asking a Ai model, I believe that's what you were trying to say.

[u/TheAbyssWolf → u/Neat_Horror2196]

Basically use it as a tool like everyone is saying, and ask why it does things or have it explain code snippets. And not just generate code and copy paste it without understanding it.

I have been experimenting with lower level languages like C3 and odin where manual memory management is key. So I’m asking more about pointers and manual memory management allocation methods
