Separate Config Files for AI Coding to Optimize Game Tuning
zack_overflow · x · 2026-08-16
A developer shares a best practice for AI-assisted game development: ask the AI to separate system parameters into a dedicated configuration constants file instead of hardcoding them. This allows for manual tuning of "game feel" (e.g., animation speeds) by directly editing the config, avoiding the token cost and re-planning overhead of having the AI search the codebase for parameter tweaks. The author extends this by exposing configurations via ImGui for visual adjustment.
