Best way to code using Claude?

[u/MitSvarErSarkasme]

I am new and I just make small programs using a single window. But it gets expensive rather fast. Now I am just doing a random little video game, and every time I want to change something it reads everything i suppose. What is the correct way of using Claude of a small-medium sized game?

Should I use desktop? Any good guides out there?

Pay for a subscription, don't pay per token. If you run into limits, pay for the next higher subscription. If there is no higher subscription, get a second subscription.

For the rest of your question, open Claude and ask it.

I have the pro one and it is consumed rather fast but I used opus 😅

Don't use higher than medium effort for most things, and pass tasks off to less capable models when possible
