I have a confession to make. For the first year or so, I used GitHub Copilot like a glorified spell-checker. A really, really smart spell-checker, sure—one that could write a whole function instead of just fixing a typo—but the dynamic was the same. I’d write, it would suggest, and I’d hit Tab.

I'm a software developer with 20+ years of experience but during this time I never programmed any games, but I really wanted to for the longest time. With the advent of AI coding agents I thought that this is the best time to try and so I've learned a bit of Phaser.js (a Javascript based game engine) and entered Beginner's Jam Summer 2025 - a game jam for beginners in the game dev industry that allows AI coding. After around 25-30 hours (working mainly after my full-time day job) I managed t
