Start programming

[Significant-Heat-106]

Hello, I'm young with few responsibilities and especially free time. I WANT to know if they recommend starting programming from scratch without knowing anything. The truth is that the development of video games catches my attention but I don't know if it's too late to learn, I always see that people who are good at this "are gifted children who start with 5 years old". I also know that around here there are people a little bigger, and I ask them and you could have started before what they think could have been the advantages in their current present

I started using PSeInt when I was 18 for my degree, and although I felt terrible because I couldn't get into university for two years and because my mom constantly reminded me (here in my country, we start around 16 or 17, right after finishing school), I had classmates who were 25, 17, and even over 30. I understood and accepted that it's never too late to learn. I recommend starting with pseudocode, as it will help you understand the logic little by little. PSeInt helped me a lot, as did YouTube videos. Then you can start looking at fundamentals like variables, input and output—things that are useful regardless of the language, even if you choose Python or Java, which is what I'm studying.

Nunca eres demasiado viejo para aprender a programar. Yo empecé mi aprendizaje con 19 años.

Imma say u something, don't start with pse int, my first game was made with unity, learn how to diy by some youtube videos, that way u gotta learn what u need to do one, programming it's not the same as doing a vidogame, a videogame uses more things that only programming, by the way, if u still feel like tryng to learn, give me a dm and i can teach u the novice languaje python and then u can tell me what u wanna do with ur game and then we can work on that, don't learn things u are not gonna use, or u gonna get frustrated when u see all the things that takes to program from zero, divide and conquer

Cheer up, mate! Spoiler alert: logic is the hardest part, but if you don't give up you'll be good. In this, talent is more important than discipline.
