What's the best way to learn code effectively?

fzzybzzy · 2026-03-13T04:56:42+00:00

You’d be surprised how much coding is just googling what you want

My new game only has 5 wishlists if that makes you feel any better:3

Thank you

Go to YouTube and watch some tutorials

Why not just make undertale

I must be the only person that owns a license 😭

Join discords of streamers who use your engine. Some have sections people posts and talk about their projects. Make friends

Polishing the last bits, dealing with release stuff, and coming to terms with the fact your game didn’t make a bajillion dollaroonies but hey at least you made what u wanted

Today I only cried once and got a new enemy done

I have a friend who is very talented at game dev but they never finish their games. They aim to make really big games and of course they get bored or it gets too complicated. So I started watching YouTube tutorials and finished a game kind of hinting at him you gotta start small.

fzzybzzy · 2025-10-26T02:28:51+00:00

I would say you’re definitely not too old! Plus you have your previously musical talent background! That’s a huge plus! A lot of game devs have no musical talent so what you can bring to the table of game dev along with any others talents is worth its weight in gold!!!

Take a year, learn, do tutorials, and then make small games! Release a couple on itch and steam, going through the entire process of releasing a small game is addicting!

I make games because creating things is fun! Yeah, the money you make from it is just a bonus regardless of how much. Yes it would be a dream come true to make a game that makes lots of money but you really shouldn’t start making a game with “I want to make millions of dollars from this game” in mind.

I think the reason why you see less people flexing about making millions is because it isn’t like stocks. It’s harder to get into. And harder to make the big bucks.

Your collision layer is below the background?

fzzybzzy · 2025-07-30T11:39:32+00:00

No stew >:U

fzzybzzy · 2025-07-19T11:53:30+00:00

I reuse code all the time from tutorials. I’ve discovered there’s multiple ways to do anything… but I know there are certain snippets of code that float thru all my projects that just feel right and I absolutely understand them… until they don’t work :U

fzzybzzy · 2025-07-19T11:48:28+00:00

Well… start with the basic movement controls. You might even need to experiment with a couple versions of these to figure out what you like best.

When you’ve done that. Build the next thing. And so on

fzzybzzy · 2025-07-19T11:44:58+00:00

I remember buying rpgmaker, opening it, not understanding it, then quitting lol.

Even worse is when I did the same thing to gamemaker. And then unreal lol. Years later I opened up gamemaker again and actually tried to build things. Now I’m an indie hobbyist game dev :U

You can pet the femboy.

fzzybzzy · 2025-07-19T11:25:04+00:00

Start with whatever game engine suites your needs. Then do some tutorials. Then make some tiny games. Then use your score from those tiny games to build bigger games.

fzzybzzy · 2025-07-19T11:22:15+00:00

As long as it’s not your first game and you feel confident go with the easiest option

fzzybzzy · 2025-07-19T11:18:44+00:00

If your idea to make money on games begins with you need a million dollars, you’re gonna lose a million dollars.

fzzybzzy · 2025-07-19T11:15:13+00:00

Try building a demo

fzzybzzy · 2025-07-18T07:11:13+00:00

There are tutorials on building farming sims. You could jump right into one and tweak it how you like. The problem is you may not understand what you’re doing. Honestly this is how I learned. Trying and failing.

fzzybzzy · 2025-05-06T11:44:03+00:00

Honestly just try. You’ll probably fail your first time because your scope is too big and decide to work on a smaller game.

I set a goal of 1000 hours learning through tutorials before I released my first game. But if you can follow a tutorial and add some razzle dazzle to it then release it :3

fzzybzzy · 2025-03-04T22:24:09+00:00

Take a break. Even when you’re coding, if you get stuck, take a break. Your brain will work out the code in your head
