Hey,

I am new to Cursor and wanted to check what best practice is for working with it and another IDE. I want to use Cursor for helping me with my projects in Gamemaker Studio 2. So I gave Cursor access to my local project folders. Now I can communicate with Cursor and get help. But what then? Should I copy the new code generated in Cursor to my Gamemaker Studio IDE to build/run it over there? This feels a little complicated but I don’t know because I am a noob and haven’t tried it out a lot, yet.

How do you guys handle the situation with Cursor and another IDE that you NEED to run the code you are working on with Cursor?

Thanks in advance!
