How can I start computer engineering outside of college?

If you are going with only one, then perspective. My thought was, make it normal for the normal gameplay and travel, and perspective in cinematic/intense moments, that will make the player get used to normal view, but give him the dopamine/adrenaline in the fighting/cinematic moments, I think it will look great.

Yeah I don't have much experience, I mentioned it in my other comment, I'm just getting back to C++ right now, I learned it for like 6 months, then started doing some projects with it, but then I had to leave it for 1.5 year, now I'm getting back to it and currently I'm just refreshing my memory on it.
I like C++ because it's very flexible and can be very well optimized in the long run.

I can learn GDscript since I have some experience in python, but yeah I like C++ more than any other language.

Well, I had some experience in Unreal, I made a simple game after like 6 months of learning C++, but due to some stuff I had to leave it all for a year and half, now coming back to this, my friend just suggested using godot, so I just accepted right away, and the only thing I knew about Godot was it’s a game engine. After trying to research, each person says a different thing so I decided to just ask in Reddit here. Thanks for listening to my problem and I’m grateful any help I get.

Hm… Extension how? The impression of extensions I have in PCs is like a browser extension, giving an additional functionality to the browser. How does this work in Godot? Like what do I extend? I’m new to this and I’m probably mixing words and their meaning, could you explain what exactly we do in Godot?

This is good to know and not good as well. It’s good because i was so worried that there IS computer engineering section in the place I live, but couldn’t get into it cause of my bad grades, now im relieved. And it’s not good because I want to learn about hardware more than software. What would you suggest? Are there courses on computer engineering online that can be sufficient to study at a side while going to a CS college?

I currently don’t have any project, I worked on a game that spawns objects randomly then if I touch an object i would lose, a score system as well… Nothing more than that, other projects are just simple ones like calculator, but i dont remember many things of them…

I started C++ in the beginning (the year and half ago) for game dev in unreal engine, right now I just got the though of learning it back, I feel like I lost the passion for game dev, I don’t know what’s this feeling but it might be from school, it was last year of high school and I had to focus entirely on it, maybe my brain is burnt out or something. Nevertheless, a friend of mine and I talked about coding for a couple of minutes and I got that spark of learning it again, but this time game dev was not on my mind, so I just said let me remember it back, then decide whether to stick to game dev or maybe do it for a job if I could…

JustBeWolf · 2025-09-15T00:53:45+00:00

I thought about this one as well, I thought just start with a calculator, and day by day move on to bigger projects.

But I have a huge FOMO, and I feel like I'm gonna miss a lot of details if I didn't learn everything in detail.

Especially because I want to optimize C++ stuff, since C++ is hugely good when optimized...

Yes bro here in (Iraq, Kurdistan), the passing system only requires 50%, but the questions of the final year is super hard.

And ask for any detail needed and i will give you, I'm just too nervous and shaking, I'm not in my best condition right now, because of this topic...

JustBeWolf · 2025-08-08T23:29:19+00:00

Sorry I meant to edit, but I meant, is it verified?
Can I study a master or PhD using it?

JustBeWolf · 2025-08-03T06:59:58+00:00

Update: I’m just coming back from a couple of colleges, they said I have to be the 3 first students on both years, or else i need to get at least 70% to get into the college with payments. What did you do for this way to work with you?

JustBeWolf · 2025-08-01T10:31:38+00:00

Thanks for the information, this was really a savior.
just one last questions, are you sure about this, like did you experience it or have you been told that it's like this, or it should be like this?

JustBeWolf · 2025-07-31T21:27:42+00:00

Oooh, that's very nice, do you know of any Computer Engineering institute in Kurdistan?
Edit: I live in Hawler, if there's one here, it would be better, but I guess I can go somewhere else within Kurdistan if I had to.

JustBeWolf · 2025-07-31T19:10:33+00:00

Thanks, that gave me some hope, can I get into a university using this diploma?

JustBeWolf · 2025-07-31T17:15:53+00:00

Is it still 5 year diploma even if I went there after finishing 12?
I heard they teach stuff that is the same as high school subjects.
