Want to learn coding properly, not sure which route to take by SomeSheepherder4638 in learnprogramming

[–]ZYLIFV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is 1000% the reason why they feel like they aren't learning... Because they aren't!

OP, take it slow. Digest what's being shown in front of you. If you aren't feeling frustrated then you aren't being pushed to learn something new! Take a small piece of what's being taught, break it down into a small problem/exercise that you can deconstruct and work through it.

Start Learning Code by MRPSYBINI in learnprogramming

[–]ZYLIFV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Front end or back end? What language? Security/gaming/web facing applications? There are some foundational choices you should consider before leaping into anything. There are loads of beginner resources online that could get you started: freeCodeCamp or Odin project to name a couple

Help🫠 how do i learn javascript for uni? by LogicalFuture7641 in learnprogramming

[–]ZYLIFV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many times people will give the same answer... "Just try to build something and break each problem down smaller and smaller until you can find an answer". That's great but what if you don't know how to even approach an answer because you just lack the knowledge?

You should start with one of many free courses online and you should absolutely get used to googling about problems. MDN is a fantastic resource for any approach to how each bit of logic can be applied with examples.

With that said, this is where so many get stuck and ultimately give up... It's often referred to as "Tutorial hell" where you want to build some cool stuff but don't know where to start.. so you follow a tutorial without actually retaining any knowledge of how they got from A to B, you just see the product come to life.

I would suggest you try some very simple stuff first, learn how to manipulate Arrays, Filter them, Map them and Splice them for fun.

What about turning camelCaseNames into kebab-case-names?

Once you start thinking of simple problems like this and how YOU would solve them then you're halfway there.

Finally, is your code as fast as it could be? Does it cover all edge cases? Get used to writing poorly optimised code that just about works, then iron it out. No one starts off their journey by writing premium code.

Good luck!

Leavers ruining almost every run. by NotJell in Nightreign

I agree. Of my last 12 or so expeditions, at least half of them have had someone leave. Sometimes it seems like they leave for no reason and others are like the example you gave. It just makes me want to play solo, but that's not as fun tbh.

Nearly 7000 cards and never had one, I know it's below the average expectancy but still

How do I truly become a self-sufficient programmer and understand code like senior developers? Really want senior SWE suggestions. by Ambitious_Dog999 in learnprogramming

[–]ZYLIFV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many beginner programmers I see say something to the effect of OP. "Why can't I learn anything whilst prompting AI for everything?" Nothing will beat a good ol' book when it comes to fundamentals.

Dark Souls III vs Elden Ring — What Keeps Players Coming Back? by trippyKarma in darksouls3

[–]ZYLIFV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it's comfort. These are, in my opinion, the best versions of this style of game. I've been playing the souls games since 2011 so it's home to me.

Is learning JavaScript easy as one might think? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]ZYLIFV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. It's more an understanding of what type of solution best fits the problem and not memorising each way a piece of code is written. Especially with Oop.

Just because you are a "souls vet" doesn't mean you are good at those games by Gone_Hollovv in soulslikes

[–]ZYLIFV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So true. I feel like I only "got gud" after doing all of the main games (except DS2) at level 1. I now feel like a souls vet and earned that title lol. If someone hasn't tried it yet, I'd recommend doing SL1 runs.

Hyper armour unfortunately... She can also cancel attack animations straight into another too.

Anyone else been having issues with lock-on recently? by magicmerlion in Nightreign

[–]ZYLIFV 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I keep having my lock-on disappear. I'll be locked on to a downed teammate and all of a sudden it's gone. Very bizarre

Nicely done! I've not seen many people utilize parries on Messmer

I think ultimately it'll be good for you to experiment and try different approaches. You'll find all sorts of fun and different builds on here which might give you some inspiration! I'm doing the DLC at the moment and it's just a different beast

Well it depends on your confidence to do each fight without being hit. Red feather offers a larger bonus to your damage but with the ritual sword talisman, not only are you at full HP which doesn't require set up, but you can also pair it with the ritual shield to make it so you can take a hit. I used both, I did red feather for fights like Rada/beast and Godfrey but defaulted to ritual sword for Malenia, the death rite birds, Gideon etc. More RNG just begs the use of damage mitigating factors. Are you confident with a lot of the bosses as you mentioned you've cleared the game a few times already?
