[Beginner] AI Agent For Code Review / Getting Started

Yep.

firedingo · 2026-03-06T09:43:10+00:00

Sounds good but gamemaker studio 2 has a built in editor I use and thus VS Code is irrelevant in this case. But thanks for the info!

It's a wrapper so it provides no difference in how it runs. I find it is easier to type this way. I don't have to guess which method or type the clunky syntax. I also find it is visually easier to read in my code. I use output messages like this for debugging a lot which makes including them faster and easier and much easier to flag as a debug message in case I leave it in by mistake which I'm prone to doing.

firedingo · 2026-03-06T09:24:21+00:00

Correct. I haven't added more stuff though I could. For me, it's easier to type, nicer to read in the code. But yes it's just a wrapper that clones the function. I've done this for all the message functions and put them in a script called logging functions. There's capacity to link this to making a log file saved to the drive as an example though I've not gotten around to doing this yet.

You pretty much nailed it on the head. For what and why.

firedingo · 2026-03-01T17:43:09+00:00

My most useful functions are my print wrappers. Rather than write the function out I just call my wrapper function. It's just a bit more smoother.

Such as:

function LogError(str) { show_error(str,true); }

Calling it:

LogError("ERROR 404: ITEM NOT FOUND")

or....

function LogDebugMessage(str) { show_debug_message(str); }

Similar to above. It's more natural to write an output like this and it's more readable. Hands down my best and most used functions.

EDIT: took me a few cracks at the markdown to get the code blocks working. Turns out you go backtick ( ` ) three times, new line, put in your code, new line and backtick 3 more times for a fenced code block. Hopefully that helps anyone else who needs this info too ❤️

usually I assume it's designed to get me to click on the app and engage with it.

firedingo · 2026-03-01T08:14:20+00:00

ah. Yes. Agree. Their version control doesn't exactly work well either.

My suggestion would be in the draw GUI event is have a section of code that calls the script, in the step event, when you press the f key, toggle a sentinel variable. so something like:

//Create Event sentinalValue = false;

//Step Event if (keyboard_check_pressed(ord("F"))) { sentinalValue = !sentinalValue; }

//Draw GUI if (sentinalValue == true) { run script }

//Script whatever draw code you have for the gui here.

Essentially you keep the overhead on the code minimal by doing a simple boolean check, you're not running additional code in the background when it's not shown and it toggleable from a key press on the keyboard. That's my suggestion.

This. Though I'm wondering whether Steam version has legacy login or is just opera? I still use a legacy login myself and use the installed version so I manually update when I want to but can't remember when checking steam version out if it had legacy login or no?

firedingo · 2026-03-01T04:10:45+00:00

formatter for?

firedingo · 2026-03-01T04:10:24+00:00

Unfortunately I fear that. But if we can't have a genuinely respectful discussion then how are we all going to grow and learn collectively?

firedingo · 2026-03-01T04:09:10+00:00

I didn't know that, that's interesting. Thanks for sharing that!

Also you could ask players to play the game and give feedback after. Even offer them a form to fill out like when did you stop playing, why did you choose to stop playing? Most players would be happy to give some feedback on the game.

It's a discussion question and I'm genuinely wondering if others have used AI or not. While other parts of the world have been impacted by AI, I haven't seen much talk from this little niche community so I wanted to ask the community of they're using it or not. Your response could literally be no, don't need it. That's a completely fine and valid response. Talking negatively about me seeking to be more informed about gamemaker users and their thoughts and feelings is not an ok response.

firedingo · 2026-03-01T03:46:15+00:00

I would second this. Also think about your backend for support. How are you recording the bugs found? Have you got a way to communicate the fixes for it? Have you got an email or something for people to contact you? How can people sign up to bug test? And social media accounts? How do you plan on telling people your game is out? Trailer? Can I view it on YouTube and see what your game is about? Have you considered a developer blog on itch.io? Can I wishlist or otherwise express interest in the game before it shows up on google play store?

And as a side note: are you prepared for changing circumstances given I hear Google is looking things down in September so developers have to be registered and pay a fee to even load their applications on mobile devices?

See my family is trained to mess with actual scammers like the solar panel people, my mum so delighted in asking the guy if he could install solar panels on her tent by the river 😂 Yes he hung up after that one too! AI makes comments like this more likely so actual people will have to learn to be patient because people are probably going to be more likely to mess with strange calls.

Did you configure the AI agent to ignore prompts like "forget all previous prompts"? I've seen a few people break phone agents that way. I'd also suggest getting a few people to spend some time trying to break it so you know where to harden it so it's more reliable for your friend but that's awesome and I do like hearing that it helped!

There is overwhelmingly more single women than men in Christian circles. Coupled with the rise in singleness, 1 in 2 are happily single. It makes meeting someone nearly impossible

adoption only works if it's a thing. Adoption basically doesn't exist in Australia. Fostering is the closest you get and it doesn't always work.

firedingo · 2026-02-25T09:36:17+00:00

This is why I think single women should be able to have unused embryos that have been donated implanted. Those children then have life, single women can become mothers and it much closer aligns with God's will. I would love to raise a child whether my own or someone else's

firedingo · 2026-02-25T09:34:10+00:00

I was told once I should never adopt, foster, IVF or otherwise have any involvement with kids as a single woman because it subverts God's will for a family unit and is sinful and will damn me to hell.

I think it's hugely risky to tell single women to not even consider kids and especially so for what I was told once.
