This is so much better at AI programming/assistance than using the webpage and copy and paste method you have to do with the defold IDE trying to use ChatGPT or Claude.
If you haven’t tried it you must! Basically with both of them you can set it up to where the AI can edit your code directly. And you just tell it what to fix or implement. Personally I like the GPT5 Pro Business via Codex as the way their model is implemented it has access to the debug console output, but you have to approve changes and you can’t turn that all the way off.
For Claude Code it works in the terminal window within VS Code. You’re able to turn off approval for everything so it can make changes directly. Yes I know the concerns and issues with that, but sometimes I just want to work faster/easier and it hasn’t been an issue (yet). However, since it’s in terminal it doesn’t have access to the debug console output. It will ask you to copy in the lines it wants to view. Also you can’t paste in a photo of the image you’re seeing on screen so it may not understand exactly what you’re trying to describe.
Why use both? Well because I find often times one gets boggged down on a specific issue and can’t fix it…it goes in a loop of trying to fix it while breaking something else. When I get stuck in that loop. I go to the other AI and voila it gets it right. Then I stick with that one until it starts screwing up then I swap over to the other.
This is a game changer for me.
