No problem; glad to help.
Trying to figure out what to research and what order to do it can be a pain, but it gets easier over time.
I think the largest hassle I usually have is not knowing specific commonly used terms, but I’ve found that explaining what I’m trying to do to an AI usually provides me with enough terminology that I can use to find research material.
It's hard to know what you don't know, but yes, AI has helped me figure out what to research to do the things I've been thinking about. I'm not a huge fan of AI, but it really does help you know where to focus your efforts.
I'm fairly new to game development, so I still have a lot of concepts and terms to learn, and advice like yours is much appreciated.
