It's definitely possible to write code without AI. It's not that hard to turn off for a project. I use VS Code for a lot of my projects and there are options in the settings to turn off Auto Suggestion or Copilot. You could do it temporarily. 

A program that I have been in love with is Micro that runs in the terminal. It's a lot easier and more accessible than nano (the default text editor that opens up when you edit files in the terminal) and way more accessible than vim/neovim. It has normal ctrl+s, ctrl-c, ctrl-v, etc functionality. You can use the mouse to select text, and it looks quite pretty. It also comes built in with syntax highlighting and code styling for programming languages. I've been using it more than VS Code actually (and about as much as Obsidian for note taking). It's way easier to not get distracted by a million plugins or other things lol. 

I'm a participant and not helping run the challenge or anything, but I would assume most people would frown on having AI assistance somewhat. Though I may be wrong. I like using AI for prototyping or even generating things for me sometimes. Thing is with AI you can have a roguelike finish in less than 7 hours. I've had Claude and chatGPT generate some for me that are not even that bad. Usually for picking apart pieces and learning. 

I feel the challenge is for people that can are making their own roguelike. Seems it would defeat the purpose if you vibe coded a roguelike for this challenge or had something else do the heavy lifting. But like I said I don't know and I read nothing explicit in the rules. I know that I'm not going to. It's not a gam jam contest so much as a personal challenge to see if we can. That is how I'm taking it. It's a challenge for me as a developer to see what I can accomplish. I'm learning as much as I can and playing a ton of roguelikes to get ready. I'm mean I'm always playing roguelikes but I'm devoting more time than usual. 

I've only done the tcod tutorial so far and I'm not even sure if I'll be able to finish anything. Anyway, that's just my rant-y opinion. 

Dude, these are so psychedelic and cool. I found another one of your tracks. Gotta say I absolutely love the guitar and jams on these. Sounds very Atom Heart Mother / Pink Floyd. Especially those trumpets and some of those melodies mixed with MGMT and psychedelic/neo-psychedelic vibe. This is great dude. 

I think (I gotta feeling you know this) that Atom Heart Mother was originally a small piece called "Theme from an Imaginary Western". I can really hear the influences in this. I really don't believe you don't know that album, but if on some slim slim chance you don't check it out. 

Also if you like Atom Heart you should check out the song "Embryo" from their Early Days album. 

Embryo - Pink Floyd

I'm real excited to use this. Thank you so much for sharing. I make music as well but nothing as tight and together as this. Your guitar is excellent as well as your production. You should be proud of this song man. 

Dude these are such a vibe. I'm going to use these as samples for music as well as for game sounds. Thanks a bunch for these. These are high class. I use Ableton Live 11 as well and jam there all the time. I make most of my own music but in looking for sound effects I've found some cool general sound packs and music. Keep it up. Following you. 

I found these hilarious and wonderful, though I don't know if you were trying to be funny. The audio and production quality is very clean and crisp and it sounds great with not too many artifacts or extra noise. I was cracking up listening to these.

I'm not sure if I'll actually get around to using these but I'm downloading them and following you and plan on it! Will drop a comment if I end up using these. I love them honestly and I think with some mixing and producing on my end I could make them wonderful for the style of my game (I love effects)

Thank you very much for sharing all of these! This is such a large amount and you've got a great voice. 

This is incredible. I went through all the sounds. Very enjoyable and also very funny. and well done. creative as hell. 

I absolutely love this game. I'm wanting to add psychedelic effects in my game. You did it so perfectly! It's so beautiful as well. I'm assuming you used some shaders. GOnna check out more of your work! Very cool :) Turn on, Tune in, Drop Out
