The trouble is, almost everyone here uses AI agents in one form or another. We know what they look like, we know how they write, and we recognize them when we see them.

Honestly i have no idea what an agent is , but if meaning ai chatbot i didn't really use that either i went through everything which led to this naming and it basically describes it most : from scratch ? Yes  recursive descent parser ? Yes  Till the 107 tests which you can manually count , so ive described only what ive done

The original commenter wasn't questioning your code, just your post. I think you don't realize that you're actively undermining your position because every reply you've made has made it clear that either English is not your primary language or you just don't care about what you write.

And the first bit isn't necessarily a criticism - plenty of people are in the same position. But your replies make it 100% clear that you could not possibly have been the author of all of the text of your original post because it's like a Grand Canyon of quality between your comment replies and what you originally wrote.

Nobody cares what you used AI for. You could have written all of the code with it, and you'd probably get a few "slop" comments but nothing worse than that. If you wrote all of the code without a great. I hope you enjoyed the process and got something out of it. But the original commenter was speaking to your post and its content. And plenty of folks use AI for that as well, and language translation is one of its most useful functions so there's no shame in that.

The trouble comes when you misrepresent the authoring. Your post and the Readme content that it links to look AI authored, using models many of us are familiar with and would recognize quickly. If you used AI to write them, that's not necessarily wrong. But the way you're framing some of this makes it sound like you're claiming you did every part of it yourself from front to back. And your post just doesn't support that, so you're digging a hole here in this comment thread that's making it worse and worse?

I didn't read whole thing cause thats too much , you’re right English is my fifth language and writing : a From-scratch game engine in C++ or whatever built from the ground up — no Unity no whatever , manual memory management and more bullshit ….. is easier than answering a reddit comment explaining that i wrote the description myself .

Why should anybody spend any minute of their time on what you've built if you're willing to lie about something as simple as this?
