tbh i think #chat is a bad place to ask questions, there is a lot of noise because ppl are chatting about everything in there.
then there are quite sarcastic/trolling statements that are not beginner friendly
and then also a lot of drift instead of staying at the topic (partially because the noise)

its not about working for free, its about, if we spoon feed, u will come back with a similar question within the next days as well.
we are lazy. its ur typical "give a man a fish and he is sated for a day, teach him how to fish and he is sated for a life time" (or something like that)

basically follow the book, sometimes play around with what u learned so far, if u r stuck try to research for information to find solutions online and if all that didnt help, ask in communities like this server for further advice.
we wont spoon feed u a working code either tho, but would be leading ya to the necessary information and help ya coming up with the solution. but the majority of work is still on u 🙂

The new ai suggestions [...]not sure if u mean the code completion stuff like copilot or chatgpt. but generally u should avoid them. code completion ai is on the free tier garbage and not useful at all. chatgpt and alike to answer questions is even worse. LLMs spit out stuff that sounds valid at first glance, but is actually utterly senseless garbage as well. and even if either of that would spit out stuff thats actually correct, u wouldnt learn stuff, so its not helpful at all. if u continue after the beginner/intermediate stuff, u will find urself needing to solve problems where there is no tutorial/guide to help u through and u have to deal with it urself by the knowledge and experience u acquired and information u can gather in anyway (internet, forums, libraries, etc)

generally speaking - tho i dunno anything about that book - work through it. game dev is a complex topic even if u dont take the math behind it into account.
then maybe start with some small $projects to gain a bit experience and then dive into unity
