ChatGPT For Game Development Assitance
Using the ChatGPT Extension in VS Code to assist students with Game Development
Overview
The ChatGPT extension with VS Code has been invaluable for my Game Programming (Unity) class. With the extension, you can interact directly with scripts (similar to co-pilot). Without this tool, most students would be severely limited with the scope of their project as many students entered the course without a strong coding background. This not only allows students to progress with their game ideas, but it doubles as a incredibly valuable learning experience. Beyond the code itself, students are required to prompt about why certain scripts and methods work, and to add comments.
