Lmao, no. LLMs don't really help with game engine code. In every other dev space there are thousands upon thousands of open source projects and github repos to train on. For Unity and Unreal, they don't have enough training data and hallucinate all day long. I've tried with the notable recent models and get nothing but bs.

    Can't say I have experienced the same. The models I have tried out don't always get everything 100% correct, but if I ask it to provide an example of code for X or Y game mechanic in C# compatible with Unity for example, it usually is able to provide code that actually does what I asked for. Even for Unity compatible HLSL shader code, shockingly. This is certainly a more recent improvement, maybe within the last 2 years.

    It's not always the most optimized or the most readable, and sometimes I have to ask it to regenerate the code a few times, but for the most part it provides code that works on the first try.

    Does this compare to the code that I have previously written that I simply reuse in my unending sea of abandoned projects? Not usually. But for code I don't even have an idea of where to start, it is a pretty useful tool.
