​
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

You: Add a red cube to the center of the scene
Summer: I'll create a MeshInstance3D with a BoxMesh and red material at position (0,0,0).

​
Setting Properties

You: Make the player move twice as fast
Summer: I'll find your player script and increase the speed variable from 5.0 to 10.0.

​
Creating Scripts

You: Add a health system to the player that starts at 100
Summer: I'll create a health.gd script with health = 100 and damage/heal functions.

​
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”
