@dolphin7559 You really underestimate the power of current AI. It's frikking amazing. I'm a skilled programmer as you might have figured, done some complex stuff in the past, way more complex than writing code for an existing engine. For one I've been a community engineer for several open source projects where I reverse engineered closed source firmware and rewrote that as open source in C++. So I do know a thing or two about programming.
That being said I had never even seen Unity before, let alone developed for it. Just learning how to use such tool can take up quite a bit of time. And then studying how to write code for it, how everything interacts, studying the engine, developing the code, it's a lot of work. But with AI, it's become a breeze. In a few logical steps it explains everything you need to do, ands writes the code for you. Most of the code my app is using is written by AI. Sure, oftentimes it didnt work from the start but you explain the problem, post debug log and it fixes it. There were only 2 occassions where it just couldnt get it going and I had to research/fix myself. It really took off weeks of work. And I'm now thinking, if it already works THIS good, then how far are we from command prompt to a completely finished app, all by AI? We're already damn close. People are ringing the alarm bells that in a few years tons of people won't have any work anymore and I'm starting to see that too now. It's simply amazing what AI can already do, let alone in a few more iterations.
Honestly, my app can now:
- play regular 180 lens video
- play fisheye video, any degrees.
- play local files
- Stream from local webserver
- Rotate the image to match the position that the viewer wants (just finished that up)
And I think I worked about 4 days on it. With no prior knowledge of all this at all (apart of general programming skills of course). All thanks to AI.
Sure, the app still needs tidying up, general UI stuff, which is a bit of work from here, but not more than 1 day. So you can definitely write such complete app within a week, if you have general progamming knowledge.
