I can finally do it with the knowledge of being able accord I can make anything I want I've always
wanted to make my own games but learning how the court has always seemed so overwhelming I'm an
artist a visual learner I prefer diagrams and pretty pictures made out of crayons and things
like that I don't know how to write chord I barely know how to write English so I started
to immerse myself in the online world of game development which give me enough motivation to
start working on my own projects but I found it really frustrating without some base knowledge
okay so I think I'm doing this right so when I press the spacebar it should say hello world
okay so I click on the game when I press space should say hello world you are a disgrace to
your family it all just seemed a bit too much and maybe out of reach for someone like me
then late one night the game development gods visited me in a dream it's gonna be really
tough at first but you don't give up you're really gonna get there for sure I appreciate you and yeah
you're great so keep it up game development is a bit like jumping into the water before knowing
how to swim all you can do is hope that somehow you find a way to float from this point on I knew
exactly what I had to do I search the App Store for apps about learning how to code and I found
this one called solo learn and it's a free app you can use to learn coding I'm not sponsored
by them or anything this has just helped me out massively structures the content in a way you can
learn from the very basics all the way up to the harder things but this was still pretty difficult
I had to keep going back and revisiting areas rereading things it's very wordy and technical
and that made it quite difficult for the concepts to sink in so I went onto YouTube there were so
many tutorials to follow so I ended up checking out a bunch trackies has a really good one on the
fundamentals of C shop but I'm still finding it difficult for the concepts to click then I found
this one by game dev HQ which starts from the very beginning all the way up to intermediate
and advanced the way that these tutorials were structured given examples and little challenge
really helped reinforce the knowledge for me so I ended up watching a bunch of these videos and
I realized he had a course on udemy now udemy courses or sometimes mega expensive but usually
if you wait they get reduced to about 10 pounds which you know I really like the content so I
decided to get it in order to get through the course a time table two hours a day for
learning and just went through the course protip you can watch the videos on a two time speed and
as long as you're still understanding you'll get through the course much faster while I was doing
the course I was always thinking about how I can apply what I've learned while developing
my own little games there's a lot of these things that I learned that I probably won't
be using for a long time but it's useful to have the knowledge anyway and when I didn't understand
certain parts I really struggled with delicates the first time I came across them I went back
to the other YouTube tutorials insallah learn to get another perspective on it and then with
multiple sources of information reinforcing one another suddenly everything started to make sense
I can finally do it I have an idea of how to structure my projects I can make my own games I
can use my art to make the games that I've always wanted to create large sprawling world's full of
detail and character monsters and creatures and quests that you never could imagine in the real
world but the knowledge of being able to code I can make anything I want I could make Skyrim
too so this is what I made is cut cut hot the hot comes down then you have to stuck it on the cuts
head so coming down stack it on the head you gotta just get the cuts on the head thanks for
watching this silly video about me learning how to code if you're learning how to code definitely
check out the free resources I mentioned in this video I'll put some links in the description for
you and and if you have any tips or useful videos or whatever for people learning how the code then
leave them in the description and leave them in the comments let's support each other hopefully
this is the first video in a long game development series so if you're interested in following my
