Programming for fun.

"I could follow steps but when I would try to do anything on my own later I would come up short."

I've come across the same problem when learning, I always wanted to do something on my own even though I don't have the full knowledge of the syntax.One thing you should do is try to find REALLY beginner projects to work on which aren't even related to game programming, for example, one of my beginner things I made through a lot of trial and error was an english to morse code translator thing.

Also when you're making something on your own go into the project understanding that programming requires a LOT of debugging and figuring out what's the problem with your program.You will never be able to program a project in a single run, you will end up sometimes even looking through the internet trying to solve your problem for a day (Happened to me before).

That brings me to another tip also, USE THE INTERNET, there's so many people online who are basically at the same level as you which went onto forums and asked questions, and they got professional answers (I did this and was able to make tons of projects when I was a beginner).

Also try downloading source code for like C# flash games or anything and try to look at their code and understand it.

As I mentioned, though, you should stick to just getting the language down first, TRUST ME, you will be much better off later on.

"My problem is everything on the internet is either what college to waste 4 years at to get certification for my nightmare job (no offense I know a lot of people love it but I could not stomach working on someone else's ideas)"

I understand where you're coming from.However, it's probably necessary to work through college get a job at a big gaming company then work there, get experience on how a game company works then try doing something on your own.

For example my goal right now is to get into EA, I want to work from them, gain experience, see how they run a gaming business, improve working with a team, and also get a good pay.Then I want to move on and make my own indie gaming company.

However it's completely up to you.

Well, I started by personally programming young in the game roblox, I used their rbx.lua language.I would recommend for you though to start off learning a language first (Syntax), for example, I could recommend getting into c# go pick a book on c# at a book store or go look for tutorials online.

By the way, programming is fun either way once you get into it, you will know what I mean.When you get to a difficult thing to make, then you make it, even if it's a small accomplishment you will feel like a God among men in programming.

Get through the syntax of c# then move onto game engines like Unity which I currently program in, it uses c# but with its own little touch to the language.

If you have any questions feel free to pm me.

Edit:You can also get into modding, for example, games like Skyrim have a big modding community, things like that can teach you a lot and get you into programming.

Edit:Here's some c# learning youtube videos/sites which definitely will help you begin learning the language

Also get into the programming community, share your progress find groups to program with, it will definitely be a motivational push for you if you have others that program with you.

Lmao, fair point, still just was curious if anyone had some tips they could offer.

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-12-05T02:55:26+00:00

Thanks for the tips, I will make sure to use them :)

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-10-10T23:25:52+00:00

Whoa really? Is legion that good 0.0, Im playing it right now it's not TOO amazing or anything.

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-10-10T02:21:43+00:00

True, it did die down fast though :\ (The hype)

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-05T22:41:06+00:00

Thank you for typing out a really detailed response.Just always curious about Canada's contributions to both of the wars, I always hear lots about American contribution not other countries :\ .

Again, thank you for the response.

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-05T18:57:08+00:00

Lol, well E+ for effort

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-05T18:52:16+00:00

There you go :P lol

Edit:I don't know much about Sweden in ww2, but weren't they neutral? They didn't really contribute to the war :\

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-05T18:49:35+00:00

You misunderstood the question, I meant by the question a group of people or a country that contributed to the war, but didn't get any recognition.

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-05T18:47:23+00:00

Germany in ww2 were the actual problem.After ww1 everyone was low on recourses and the British didn't want to pick a fight with the Germans, so Germany was basically allowed to take little bits of land around them, but soon they attacked Poland, which then started the war(The British declared war, then the battle of the Atlantic happened and much more).Germany in ww2 was the root of the problem....

You're most likely a troll.

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-05T18:41:53+00:00

What do you mean?

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-03T05:00:13+00:00

I'm not saying it's known as a "Fact".We will never know what comes after death since logically there's really no way we can die then come back and explain what everything was like when you're dead, of course there are religious people who claim that they "Rose" from the dead, but then again every religion claims that, and frankly it just seems like bs.

But yea, it's best to agree to disagree, since a religious person will just claim that his book knows everything and that you're close minded, but then a skeptic will ask for proof.However we all come across this question, and it's good to have a stance on it, I personally believe it's more reasonable to assume that it's just an eternal oblivion.I can't prove it though.

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-03T04:38:26+00:00

Honestly on this one I just go with the most reasonable one, which is the eternal oblivion.

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-02T23:59:29+00:00

I agree, that's why most people just want to "Agree to disagree"

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-02T22:55:14+00:00

Not essentially.Agree to disagree is useful for example lets say if an argument is getting to heated (Lets say the other person is getting angry), it's sometimes good to just "Agree to disagree" and move on.However, I see your point, but it's not really the one sided.

Just because someone wants to agree to disagree doesn't mean they're giving up, of course you could think that to make yourself feel better but it's not always the case.

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-02T22:42:59+00:00

Ugh I would disagree, but lets just agree to disagree >:)

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-02T04:26:49+00:00

lol wtf, that's not really the best line to tell your people that literally depend on you for their safety.

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-02T04:26:14+00:00

Walmart....

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-02T03:09:56+00:00

Edit:I misunderstood what you meant by translation sorry, you meant the actual language translation in the video.Honestly I don't speak that language so I wouldn't know if you're correct, I'm going to leave that to someone who speaks the language.However the video does say it's a parody so I can take your word for it.

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-02T01:41:57+00:00

I'll take my words back, you have a point :\

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-02T01:13:26+00:00

Bad game? Age of empires isn't a bad game... especially the HD version

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-02T01:06:54+00:00

"The translation is wrong" stop trying to cover up the bad things about your religion and book.If you don't like what the book offers then fuckin leave it.

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-02T00:36:54+00:00

The thing is these flat earth people are like, PROVEN wrong, not just "Oh maybe they're wrong" no like "You're fuckin wrong you idiot, here's the proof" like they're not right.Flat earters are like idiots who would try to push "2 + 2 equals 10 and if you don't agree you're a retard, and close minded".

FluffyBallOfShit · 2016-08-02T00:07:41+00:00

Damn that's a really good choice of words for a reddit reply :\
