definitely! i’ve felt tricked to realize the code samples it’s giving me are manually implementing traits that have derive macros, etc, but i have learned a lot in the process, too. i plan to spend today rewriting everything to use AsBindGroup and hopefully eliminating a lot of the code i’ve written

i’ve mostly dealt with that by saying “give me the smallest possible change that would get me closer to doing the next thing, in a way that i can test something is working”

tbh i’ve been looking at a variety of sources and examples, and mostly just struggling 😅 sometimes i ask AI to explain things to me and it tells me lies and creates subtle traps i fall for later, and then learn, but it has gotten me unstuck a few times too. bevy discord is friendly as well

i always feel like the hardest part is getting started, so might as well make that part as easy as possible haha

what i do is just the smallest possible task, not even something important, just to get the ball rolling again

i’m using tauri.app as the basis, so i’m starting by prototyping features, design, etc in Typescript, React and Pixi.js, and then as pieces get solidified I will pull them over into the rust side of the tauri bindings. i may attempt to build my own rendering at some point in WebGPU as well

yeah humans are always your best bet, the gpt was all i had to ask at the time and i found i was able to come to what felt like an “idiomatic” solution pretty quickly

my strategy was to turn off copilot, etc, until i’d solved the problem, and then ask it what the “proper” solution looked like, and i learned a bunch of iterator methods that way

i learned this way, a year or two ago and it was pretty successful!

i'm planning on building something *kind* of like RPG maker (but not for RPGs), using typescript, pixi.js & react. the editor will be using tauri.app because ideally i'd be able to run it on my iPad lol

my current project is targeting steam (hopefully) later next year!
i’ve done mobile games in the past but they’ve all been retired by now

i might be crazy but regularly working on any platform you plan on targeting is my preferred strategy for avoiding the “it only works on my machine” sort of problems that tend to crop up later. it’s easier to maintain compatibility than solve it all at once imo

fallout 3 for me, for sure. i shotgunned the main story in the first 24 hours and saved during the ending sequence to find myself soft-locked without a backup save. i guess i felt more betrayed, but i was frustrated in a bunch of ways by fallout 3
