Disclaimer: Many of these scripts were modified with the help of Github CoPilot built-in to Visual Studio, however the core features, script behaviour, game logic was also designed by the original developer(me, Taif Al-Amin), and GenAI was primarily used as a tool for research and debugging code as well as streamlining any simple changes. Unfortunately as most of the usage occurred in the Visual Studio application, I am unable to provide the exact prompts and share the original chats.
