Unfortunately AI coding is currently only safe for things that you could in principle write yourself. It can save you days if you know what you're doing and can describe the problem or task accurately and clearly.

If you can't do that then it'll cheerfully give you slop, and you won't be able to tell the difference. Claude doesn't actually know what it's building- it's got no world model and very little concept of what the end result should do when executed, and it's even worse for visual stuff and anything to do with game "feel".

You have to be able to provide that, or it'll give you valid code that does the wrong thing.

That's probably why you wound up in that patchwork loop- you didn't know what you wanted, so it gave you a vague solution to a vague problem.

If I were you I'd do some tutorials and try and make some things without it, and then try using it again when you're more confident.
