point me to a way to "learn" to code for hardcore gamers ex-retail wow glad, ex 18 hour classic wow rank14 poopsocker multiple servers, league challenger quit s5, SMT:I endgame grinder, gunz:the duel bf style top 10 players, chess 2k, i can play all these fucking games at a strong level, im not looking for a job, i'm not retarded, i'm looking to hash out my own shit for whatever the fuck i wanna do, i don't need to learn to do things well, i just need to pick things up to the point where i can just sloppily write some absolute hackjob that gets things done, idgaf about getting a job, i just wanna make my own shit and dont much care for the properness of it, i managed to do some things with LLMs/AI and get some pythonslop going but it felt like a slog especially since AI sucks ass at anything that's actually useful and debugging the garbage whats the most efficient way of just making things that "just work" with an abhorrant set of code that'd make someone cringe, i dont care about that i'll optimize/get better later, i just wanna get my feet on the ground, asking here before i ask in /g/ because i imagine theres major overlap and they're extra faggy in /g/ and would suggest i go read a book on C++ and spend 2 years doing fuckwott udemy courses just to make a calculator app >but OP there are tons of newbie courses and shit yea but they're all for midwit retard fags and made for you to understand the fundamentals on shit, i don't need fundamentals, crash course put me in a foreign car and tell me where the gaspedal is i'll figure out the rest, if you fags don't have anything i'll see if /g/ has anything, otherwise i'll just go back to some turbogarbage AI/LLM and suffer through it pic unrel

>>988356 Well if you're such a fucking smart ass and books are below you, then start at the deep end with C++ and make your own 3D engine with Vulkan as your first project. https://vkguide.dev/ Follow this guide and comprehend everything to completion, if you can do so and then continue building on your project from there, you will have learnt everything there's to know about programming in C++ and computer graphics. After that you may start with building a game around your shitty monolithic spaghetti engine. >but this is too difficult Well you asked for it, and everything you'd learn from making your own VK engine in C++ far out shines anything you'd learn from starting at a simpler language like Python or Lua. You will be forced to learn about important data structures, proper control flow, memory management, how math is expressed in programming langs, and more excitingly how 3D games are rendered from small triangles.

>>988356 Did an actual good thread die for this cuckchan summer spergout? If you want to skip learning shit traditionally I suggest getting into reverse engineering. Look up open source games on their repos and ogle their code and brute force associations that way. Decompile and take apart pirated games like a chink. It's going to be "faster" but you will make a lot of mistakes on the way if you want to be forged by fire. Also just steal config vars from the Engineini subretarddit if you want to come across as more accomplished than triple gAAAy devs, and learn file compression.

When you encounter an obstacle go on Stack Overflow copy and paste the solution, don't try to comprehend anything, just treat the code like lego blocks, and without even trying you will make horrendous code, don't worry. Now if you really want to intentionally make ~~Clean Code~~ Foul Code, put all your code in one single file, name the variables a1, a2, a3, a4, and so on, name every function f1, f2, f3 and every class as c1, c2, c3, oh and make sure you never ever put any comments into your code, if the code you copy and pasted from stack overflow has comments, just delete them. Hard mode: Don't create functions or classes, put everything in the int main() loop. So what is your endgame plan OP?

You don't spend enough time learning something to the point where you can use it for the majority of inconveniences and sporadic ideas you encounter, without having real purpose or motivation. If your motivation is "I want to find the digit in a script so I can change it" then you're doomed to a life of script kiddie insignificance and you will never learn anything. Better to just give up now.

You want to do very specific high level stuff, where the knowledge of doing one thing does not transfer to another and everything will probably be written in a different programming language anyway, worst case scenario binary decompiled into assembly. Again, just hire a script kiddie from India or Eastern Europe.

So where can i start learning kindergarten level c++ ?

Anonymous 07/11/2024 (Thu) 19:46:42 Id: 5e2dec No. 988398

>>988396 If you want kindergarten programming then you learn with Scratch or Python if you want an actual programming language. If it's C++, then easy, you write C code in C++ learn if statements, while and for loops, then how to determine if a number odd or even, if it's prime or not, if it's equal to it's reverse(ex 1221), and if it's a perfect number(equal to the sum of it's divisors minus itself so 6 because 6==1+2+3), though I guess that requires second grade math so it's a bit too advanced for "kindergarten" level, as such stick with Scratch.

>>988406 I initially thought you meant actual kindergarten level, if you are an adult you can safely skip to Python or even C++. There are fields that require a lot of math knowledge such as Graphics or Wave Interpretation(Fourier and all that), but for the most part second grade math is what you need, with the addition of knowing floating point numbers. As for starting points, last month I started doing the 100 Days of Code: The Complete Python Pro Bootcamp for shits and giggles, and I do think it's a good course in that each day you make some popcorn application such as a password manager, Snake and bootleg Anki. Every course takes between 1 and 2 hours so it's not a huge time investment. Most of the stuff I have already done previously in College, but I do like the way the course is structured and presented, so if I were to ever teach Python I would ~~steal~~ copy most of that stuff. You will have to find yourself where to pirate the course. Of course there are also plenty of free video courses on Jewtube, then there is this pic. >>988409 >So just stick to python move to c++ once i'm comfortable enough with it. It's not that one language is superior to the other. There are plenty of applications written in python, and plenty of senior developers who work with Python at a professional level, it is by no means a kid's programming language like Scratch. Now if you want to work closer to hardware or write a game engine you are better off working with C++, but Python is good enough to make a 2D game or other simple applications. t. C++ Developer

I'm not in OP's situation, but I'd like to be a translator. I've already manually extracted and translated ~50% of the text of a game I'd like to reverse-engineer and insert English text into. Haven't dived into the technical side of it at all. If I learn the target game's programming language (68K assembly), how much C++ should I have under my belt? How much computer architecture would I need to know from there, or how far would I have to get into something like SICP? Would knowing modern assembly assist in learning assembly for older game consoles, or would it be useful for something else during the translation process? What are some good sources for learning the programming languages of older consoles? What else should I know?

>>990276 >https://www.veritasai.com/veritasaiblog/20-python-projects-for-beginners-in-high-school That's fucking neat, anon. This is exactly what i was looking for and didn't know. >it's better to do 10 minutes a day of coding/learning, than 70 minutes of learning I'll take my time and won't force myself. I'll take this as learning another language or guitar. Eventually it will click and i'm going to be able to play with it. Thanks for all the help.

No matter how good you get you have to come to terms with the fact that you only have one body and there are limits to how much you can do on your own.

you're like me. well, except you're competent in games or whatever. Here's real best way if it hasn't already been said. Get into some actual code from some games or whatever, and start ripping that shit apart. Fucking change shit up, start reverse engineering, fuck all those fundamentals and shit, other fuckers did the fundamentals for you already. then learn from your mistakes years later and regret not learning fundies as you're a decade too late

Now that I think of it, isn't there some kind of faggy new age "Gamified" course for learning coding? Get points for correctly making this for loop, or making this ship fire at the correct interval!

>>990386 Wouldn't that be any coding website that offered challenges and gamified them with XP/level system, or leaderboards, or even completionism? I'd have to check which sites offer that and whether they're effective but searching "gamified programming" turns up a few lists >CodeGym.cc >Screeps >CheckiO >VIM adventures >Cyber-Dojo >Ruby warrior

>>990386 Yes, there's even things like that forever. But gamification is gay, you will forever remain a "dabbler" and the only thing you'll be able to do is make a Fahrenheit to Celsius converter in C#. If you study like a normal person, by the time you leave the realm of beginner, you will have surpassed those kinds of websites and services. This goes for all "gamification" rackets, like language. If Duolingo actually got you good at Spanish or Nipponese, then nobody would want to use it after they got good. They are okay for seeing if you're interested in the subject, though.

>>990238 >Is this a good book for a novice? Depends on your math inclinations, but probably not. It's more about being a good programmer than building things which is what you should aim to do at the start. That's why the MIT-niggers retired it.

The only way to properly learn pogramming is by doing a shit ton of programming. No amount of books or JewTube videos or spoonfeeding will make you a good programmer. The bitter truth is if you cant get into programming on your own, you were never meant to be a programmer.

Is this the same deranged retard who kept making nonsensical rambling threads on /loomis/ and /co/ asking for "successful numbers" and shit, or is there just a surplus of legitimate retards who've been posting lately? Myself included obviously.

>>988362 >but i am INTENTIONALLY asking to learn to write bad code, not good code Get a chat GPT subscription, tell it what you want the code to do and then paste in the code. Its been working well for me, though, I'm using it to reverse engineer and port code from one language I don't know to another language that I don't know. You will need some basic understanding of how coding works. Maybe try scratch. Its a very good visual system for children and is wonderful for people who know nothing about coding.
