Renee Noble and Cynthia Zanoni went LIVE as part of Ignite 2023, with Learn Live: Build a minigame console app with GitHub Copilot. Catch the video, all the links, and extra useful resources on AI and GitHub tech here!
In this Learn Live session, they went through Microsoft Learn’s Challenge project - Build a minigame with GitHub Copilot and Python.
This session is about using the power of GitHub Copilot to help you quickly create a well-known game, “Scissors, Paper, Rock!” (or whatever order you list them in your region!). We took a look at how GitHub Copilot can quickly fill out our coding logic, autocomplete our code ideas, and learn from our code as we go. We also show how we are using Codespaces to let us write code and run our Python game without ever leaving the web browser.
Since this is a Challenge module, there will be lots of ways of solving the problem that’s presented. We take you through one way of approaching it and answer some questions about how else we could have approached it with GitHub Copilot by our side. We also answer some other questions about GitHub, GitHub Copilot, Codespaces, and more!

(Watch this space over the next week as we link to new blogs on each of these videos as they are released!)
If you liked this challenge module, we have more AI-powered challenges for you here in our AI Kick-off Projects collection. There will be a brand new Challenge by Renee coming to this collection soon with some of the latest AI tools, more Copilot options, and low-code tech released at Ignite.
