I have a question for those who like to use #AI.

@NicksWorld @pixelate It's like saying hey, I got Windows 2000 running on an Android tablet! No, you didn't, you got Windows 2000 running in a virtualised environment that borrows some of the physical hardware of an Android tablet.

@NicksWorld @pixelate I know of only 1 extraction tool for PS2 games, PSound. But even that's kinda hit and miss because of sample rates, encryption and other shit, plus that codebase is a million years old.
@cubic @NicksWorld Oh man, PSound. I loved that back in the day. Put in my disk for MK Armageddon, got it started, and out popped all the announcer dialog and such. It was pretty cool at the time.

@NicksWorld @cubic I ain't no programmer.

I have a question for those who like to use #AI. For those using Claude, could you make a program without coding knowledge? I want to potentially make a game more accessible for #Blind people but just don't know how to program at all. Am I just royally screwed because I didn't spend years and years learning advanced python or not? I genuinely want to know.
@NicksWorld@mastodon.stickbear.me You can use AI to help with the code, but as someone who has actually created a Yahtzee game completely with the CoPilot from within Visual Studio Code, it worked, but fell flat when I tried to get it on Github. It had all sorts of messed up code. Yet, I can definitely play it locally on my computer. So I think if I had at least basic understanding of code I'd be able to understand better what the AI is doing, and from there, give the AI better instructions to get it to do what I want. -

@technolass It's cool that you were even able to make a game at all, but you're right about understanding the fundamentals of code, as other people have told me.

@NicksWorld Don‘t use it in a way that you don’t know what it’s doing. Start small and use it to teach you programming so diligently that you then can code yourself what you have learned. If you don’t you’re not getting far and probably asking for trouble.

@StefanWelebny I think, if I wanted to get serious about this, I'd take an actual course with a real teacher.

@pixelate @NicksWorld Again, very hit and miss though. I've had cases where the majority of sounds are squeaky or don't even play at all.

@NicksWorld @technolass I'd say you don't need to know how to program to get started. As the program grows in complexity though, you'll start to realize that understanding is a must. There are times you'll have to research stuff, that even if you have AI call research tools, it still won't nail the problem even with up to date information. If you don't know the problem in the first place and a solution to what you're trying to solve AI will blow up in your face. For example, I had to do actual skilled research yesterday to figure out that the reason why AccessiWeather notifications stopped working was because Windows requires a start menu shortcut for the app and a registered app ID, even though its a portable copy. If none of those exist, notifications will not fire, no matter the library or setup you use. They really, really want you to install apps. The AI was going in circles with me trying to fix my code when the code logic was correct. There was just no start menu entry because portable apps are supposed to be as minimal as possible.

@cubic @NicksWorld Yeah, I've definitely not tried it in like ten years.
