I've been writing code that implements tournament algorithms for games. You'd think an LLM would excel at this because it can explain the algorithms to me. I've been using cline on lots of other tasks to varying success. But it just totally failed with this one: it kept writing edge cases instead of a generic implementation. It couldn't write coherent enough tests across a whole tournament. So I wrote tests thinking it could implement the code from the tests, and it couldn't do that either. At one point it went so far with the edge cases that it just imported the test runner into the code so it could check the test name to output the expected result. It's like working with a VW engineer. Edit: I ended up writing the code and it wasn't that hard, I don't know why it struggled with this one task so badly. I wasted far more time trying to make the LLM work than just doing it myself.
