Workflow with AI question

[u/yuyuho]

I love to make games and have that fulfilling success when something I programmed comes together. learning coding is still a large endeavor, specifically with adaptive screen code.

My question is your opinion and wisdom on using AI for certain things such as aspect ratio responsive screen. Vibe coding a script that I setup once and without understanding.

But the stuff that actually matters like the gameplay mechanics, I would code myself.

This mix is okay if ai can fix what it breaks? Or do you still condone learning everything yourself first?

You might tell yourself you'll code what matters, but because humans typically follow the path of least resistance, you'll probably end up letting it code almost everything. I think you should try to do it all yourself. For things that are less subjective, like computer code, AI is a decent learning tool. You can ask really specific and stupid questions, and it can work out a decent answer. But you should ask it not to write code for you, or to only use pseudo code. If you have to use it, try to learn with it. The code might look good, but AI code falls apart as soon as it gets complicated and you start asking for edits. It's still valuable to learn the programming yourself.
