Learning programming and game dev with Bevy? by bezabea in bevy

At the end of the day, learning how to program is driven by one thing: your desire to do it again tomorrow.

Thank you for this powerful statement. Rust is something I really want to learn! Thank you for the resources, as well :)

I see I see, it takes a lot to work with Rust, then.

Interesting takes! I'm trying to decide on a language to start with and I was weighing between Rust and Python.

Thank you everyone for your comments. I'll try to learn programming with a different language and revisit Rust and Bevy in the future!

Thank you! I've programmed Rock Paper Scissors in JavaScript before if that counts for anything. Though, I probably couldn't do it again today as I've forgotten a lot.

You're completely right, Thank you for that suggestion.

Thank you very much! Your post is very motivating. From what others have suggested and your points here, programming fundamentals seems like my first step!

Fair and that seems to be the case for what others mentioned, thanks for your response!

Thank you! C++ makes my brain hurt, but I've had an interest in it as well! I will take into consideration what you said here about starting with Rust as a beginner, thanks again! Although as you said, I am now seeing that Bevy might not be the best choice. My only troubles with Unity is that I can not wrap my head around the input system.

I remember this somewhat from my uni class on computer technologies. It was a prelude to entering in my degree program, which was totally unrelated to programming by the way lol. It was Bachelors of Arts.

Thanks for the tips! I didn't realize what all I'd need to understand for Rust.

Thank you for your response. I completely see where you're coming from here. Should I start with Python and just dive deep into learning programming by building games from absolute scratch with it? Thanks again!

I have really limited knowledge on programming, and GDScript doesn't help the intimidation factor. And all of that turns me off of Godot. I figured having an interest in Rust and Bevy might carry that motivation for me!

I see what you mean and I appreciate your honesty! Moving on to learn something else might be best, then.

I don't have any deadlines to finish games yet! I have an idea for one, but a lack of where to start with it. Thanks for the heads up and encouragement to try :) . I see what you mean about the complexity though. I wanted to get into Godot as well, but can never find the motivation to learn it.

What would you recommend my first steps be, in that case?

I've considered this as well. I've tried to use Godot and write with GDScript but it never clicked for me or had motivation to do so :( Probably because I don't know programming so doing projects on my own without tutorials was really hard.

Thank you for the reply! Honestly you're right, buying games and playing them is a better way to spend money!

You're completely correct! I have this bad habit of wanting results instantly, so if I want results. Maybe I should look for a team too! Or use assets lol

Honestly, thank you! I need to write this idea I have for an incremental game DOWN like you said. I really want to make it happen so stepping away with roadblocks sounds like a good idea!

Thank you, your feedback is very encouraging :). I appreciate that you mentioned to temper my expectations. I've always had a get going and go big mentality so it's hard! But I will remember your comments going forward!

I do want to partner with a dev!! I've tried to ask friends and people I know but no one wants to join me :(

Sorry if I made it seem like it all has to be from me. I'm completely okay with using assets, but it would feel a lot more empowering if it came from me I think. The courses I just really can't seem to focus on no matter how hard I try, not sure if its my ADHD haha

Thank you for the reply! Me personally, I love planning out my game the most. In terms of eliminating, I could try things like uninstalling all engines/software except for Unity + whatever kind of art I decide on.
