Programming with LLMs

Programming with LLMs means using AI assistance like ChatGPT or GitHub Copilot during coding. These AI tools function as a kind of pair programmer: they can suggest code, explain existing code, and help detect errors.

In the context of game development, this skill is important because developers often prototype and iterate quickly. LLMs can speed up routine work, giving you more time for game design and solving complex problems.

Starting Points

  • ChatGPT - A good starting point is to ask a language model like ChatGPT to build an application for you.
  • Use agent mode in VS Code - guide for using LLMs in a popular IDE

Key Points

  • You use appropriate tools and deploy them efficiently.
  • The AI-suggested code is correctly integrated into the codebase.
  • You can clearly explain what the generated code does and why this implementation was chosen.
  • There is evidence that you have critically reviewed and tested the AI output.
