Defold Companion-AI-powered game development assistant

Example

Providing a detailed breakdown of Lua syntax and common practices for use in Defold, such as how to manipulate game objects, handle input, and manage data.

Scenario

A developer wants to create an AI system in their game, but struggles with efficient state management. Defold Companion walks through implementing a finite state machine (FSM) using Lua, ensuring the developer understands concepts like state transitions and event-driven behavior.

Example

Identifying and solving specific game mechanics issues, such as character movement bugs or issues with collision detection and response.

Scenario

A developer encounters a glitch in a platformer where the character occasionally falls through platforms. Defold Companion suggests solutions related to adjusting collision shapes, fine-tuning physics properties, and updating the game loop logic to prevent gaps in collision checks.

Example

Guiding developers through optimizing rendering and performance, such as reducing draw calls, memory usage, and improving the efficiency of game loops.

Scenario

A developer notices frame rate drops when the game scene becomes crowded with objects. Defold Companion offers strategies like object pooling, reducing sprite sheet sizes, and efficiently managing off-screen objects to improve performance without sacrificing gameplay quality.
