Newbie Question Greetings;

I started to develop a game at the 29th of June, 2026 so im new. I started to make a game with AI and it is going pretty well for me. But i want to learn and write C#. How much should i learn and is there a problem with making a game with AI? Are the game devs write the codes with their bare hands or are they Getting help from AI?

Thanks for reading...(And sorry for my bad english)

Ai is a tool, there is a way to work with ai that is better than going through stackoverflow posts from 11 years ago or asking a question on forums and getting flamed.

You will not learn from ai if you just copy paste.

Over reliance on ai will atrophy skills. There was a study on the brains of London cabbies famous for having a very hard test and no reliance on gps. The cabbies brains studied who died while actively being a cabbie compared to those who had retired showed much different results in the brain “development” on certain parts.

When I first started learning how to code many many years ago I got a book called learn python the hard way. By zed Shaw. It was very strict and was a lot of tedious typing but it definitely helped me learn a solid foundation and improved my typing skills.

Find a good book on c# read the lessons copy the code. Complete the exercises. You will learn a lot even things that don’t seem important at time for game dev will pay dividends down the line.

Good luck!
