I've been taking online lessons on Godot and GDScript, and while I've had success creating different types of games like platformers and roguelikes, I'm struggling with the current lessons on procedural generation. The explanations feel quite vague, and just copying the code doesn't help me truly understand it. I'm eager to learn more about the code itself. Since I can't ask my instructor directly, what strategies can I use to grasp this code better? Should I explore resources on the internet, check out GitHub for explanations, or maybe use AI tools to break the code down for me? Or is finding a different course the way to go?

You could definitely give an AI like ChatGPT a shot for explanations! Just keep in mind, it might not cover everything thoroughly. It can be a good starting point but don’t rely only on it for deep understanding.
A solid approach is to pick a function you find confusing and dive into the documentation related to it. Trying to modify that function in your projects to see the effects can also help a lot. Over time, you'll start noticing patterns in how the code works together. Just keep experimenting with it!
Totally agree! Messing around with the code and making tweaks is super helpful. It’s a great way to explore how everything fits together.
But can you really learn just by asking AI? I feel like hands-on practice is crucial too.
