GitHub Copilot Workshop

Build a Rock, Paper, Scissors game from scratch with GitHub Copilot

In this fun workshop, you will learn how to use GitHub Copilot to build a simple game in Python, with little to no coding experience required.

Estimated time to complete: 10 to 60 minutes

Participants will be guided to install the GitHub Copilot VS Code extension, follow a CodeTour to learn how to interact with GitHub Copilot, and then use GitHub Copilot to build a Rock, Paper, Scissors game from scratch.

Depending on the time available, participants will be able to complete the game or just get started, from a simple version all the way to introducing additional logic to make the game more interesting complete, with unit tests and REST API endpoints.

FAQ

  • How do I get a GitHub Copilot license?
    • You can request a trial license from your GitHub Sales representative or via Copilot for Individuals or Business licenses.
  • How do I get a GitHub Codespaces license?
    • Codespaces is included with GitHub Enterprise Cloud, GitHub Enterprise Server, and GitHub Free. You can check under your billing settings page.
  • I am having trouble activating GitHub Copilot after I load the plugin, what should I do?
    • This could be because you launched your Codespace before you activated GitHub Copilot or accepted the invitation to the trial org. Please try to reload your Codespace and try again.
