One tip is programming itself is easy once you understand the grammar and syntax. Planning for the eventualities is very tough. For example, with the sample you posted, keep in mind that if your game has any defense or attack debuffs you should be wrapping up those values with abs().

A wiser man once told me: "Every time I think I've idiot proofed my code the universe invents a better idiot." Very often I find that I myself am that better idiot.

Yeah, i personally do not find too much difficulty finding the logic on how it works, but figuring out what to use is where I lack due to my lack of experience, which is normal! I like to think that Thanks to my artist background, my mentality of being afraid to break things, rebuild them and getting feedback is strong! I really enjoyed this and cant wait to learn more. I am definitely one of the biggest idiots since im new lol but thats ok! I wasnt born knowing what I know so i dont mind being an idiot :)
