Experiment: Generating Vim9script (Classes/Enums) using GitHub Copilot

[Yegappan Lakshmanan]

Hi all,

I wanted to explore the efficacy of modern AI tools in generating Vim9script,
specifically focusing on how well they handle newer constructs like classes,
interfaces, enums, type aliases, and tuples.

To test this, I used GitHub Copilot to create a fully functional
Battleship game.
I’ve uploaded the results here: https://github.com/yegappan/battleship.git

Every file in the repository was generated by Copilot. The goal was
to see if the
AI could correctly implement Vim9’s newer OOP-style features.

I found the process surprisingly efficient.

I also created a number puzzle game (https://github.com/yegappan/number-puzzle).

Thanks,
