u/Eu_Louis

Hey everybody, brazilian 20 yo, u can call me Louis.

I participated on the programation of a Demo of a game like 2 years ago, in the end of my school years with 3 friends of mine. From then on, my life had some turns and I couldn't focuse on programming anymore. Came back a couple days ago and decided to start developing a software which follows the 20-20-20 rule (Each 20 minutes, look for 20 seconds to somewhere 20 feet away, to preserve your sight while using computer), but I didn't even know how to write the very first line, so I used ChatGPT to tell me what to do and then explain me how that work.

It actually turned out really well, it is functional (even tho it's kinda raw) and I do understand what I did and what those lines do mean, but I feel like if I had to start it all over again, I would be completely lost, because I couldn't memorize the codes, the main syntax behind it, and all that stuff, like how do I know if the "DispatcherTimer" is inside or outside the "private void" (I use Microsoft Visual Studio Community), and how do I learn and keep that very clear in my mind to the point I can write a full code without even thinking too much on it, is it practice?

Help me please, and just tell me if it's a hell of a sin to use AI to this, I really just don't understand yet how to study it properly. (Btw I intend to buy a course soon, but also don't know which one is trustable)

The main screen, it is the face of the app, here lies the buttons \"Start\" to start the timer, and \"Stop\" for the opposite purpose.

Still the main screen, focused on the stop button logic and what happens when the second screen is closed (the timer restarts)

Didn't comment yet, but this controls when the button on the \"Break screen\" can be clicked to close it and restart the timer on the main screen

AI disclosure: Most of the code shown in this post was generated with the help of ChatGPT. I used it as a learning tool, I asked it to explain the code and what the codes do, now I have an understanding of what the code does, the comments in the code were written by me by the way. My goal is to rewrite the project myself as I continue learning programming, not to base my knowledge on the crutch that AI is for me today.
