# trevaintdead/ai-game-modding-guides

> A collection of guides for building game mods with AI coding agents: passthrough mods, Rust engine rewrites, mod loaders, prompting, and troubleshooting. Aimed at beginners without coding experience, working only with single-player offline games.

- Magnitude: 3.8 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 130 total · +25 stars measured 2026-10-06, 10:16–12:34 UTC, ≈ 46 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Build a passthrough mod linking two games via a script extender and mod loader
- Rewrite a game engine in Rust reading data from your own copy
- Set up an AI agent in a harness to work with game files and builds

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-06 (UTC), 10:16–12:34: 105 → 130 stars (+25). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +46 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 3 days old and already has 130 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #140.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 14
- Issues and pull requests: 2
- Watchers: 5
- Average over the last week: 29 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 14

## Stars per day, last 10 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-09-27 … 2026-10-06: 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 17, 14, 41, 25

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
