Starting Your First Chat

Once you have Summer installed and a project open, you can start using AI to build your game.
1

Open the AI Chat

Click the chat icon in the toolbar or press Ctrl+Shift+A (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+A (macOS).
2

Describe what you want

Type a natural language description of what you want to add or change in your game.
3

Review and apply

Summer will show you what it plans to do. Click “Apply” to make the changes.

Example Conversations

Here are some examples to get you started:

Adding Objects

Setting Properties

Creating Scripts

Best Practices

Be specific: Instead of “make it better”, try “increase the jump height” or “add a blue glow effect”.
Ask for explanations: Add “and explain what you did” to understand the changes.
Review changes: Always check what Summer did before continuing. Use Ctrl+Z to undo if needed.

Understanding AI Responses

Summer will typically:
  1. Analyze your request and current project state
  2. Plan the specific changes needed
  3. Execute the changes through the editor
  4. Explain what was done and why

Common Patterns

Scene Manipulation

  • “Add a [object] to the scene”
  • “Move the [object] to [position]”
  • “Scale the [object] by [factor]“

Code Generation

  • “Create a script that [does something]”
  • “Add a function to [do something]”
  • “Fix the bug where [describe issue]“

Project Organization

  • “Create a new scene for [purpose]”
  • “Organize these nodes into groups”
  • “Add this to the autoload”
