How to Code

Hi guys i am a small gamer i wanna learn about coding i want to code games and every thing else pls teach me everything about coding.Give me the links of what should i download and what i have to learn about first to code like youtube vidoes. TY

I would recommend learning C++ or maybe Java for making games. There are tons of programming languages though. You need to decide which one to learn and get a good book on the matter. Practise makes perfect. It won't happen over night but eventually you'll become proficient. A book I recommend you read after learning a language is Clean Code. Thenewboston on YouTube has some really good videos on a whole bunch of languages to help you out. Good luck!! :] Prorgramming is really fun once you get past the initial calculators and hello world programs! Keep that in mind when things get tough.

I would like to learn about hacking so i saw thenewboston the first c++ video and is it a must that we should download codeblocks or we can get the c++ program from microsoft and can i learn everything about hacking from him ?

You need to learn how to program before you can start hacking. Thenewboston teaches you the basics of the language. If you want to hack I suggest reading accelerated c++ or c++ primer(better suited for beginners). Then reading a book on data structures. Then reading Programming Windows(it's a bit of an older book but its a great book nonetheless). After that you will need to learn how to read assembly language. You don't necessarily need to write it so how you decide to learn is up to you. Once you've gotten that far you will be ready to begin to learning about hacking/reverse engineering. None of this is mandatory and its subject to opinion but if you do all this you will have a much easier time.

Use littlebit google and you will learn

but u will need some months till u master it.. so dedication is the most important factor!

get known to windows, linux, and computer hardware basics. Learn a programming language. C++ is prefered.

You want links? Oh boy... here we go..

Let's start with the basics, understanding syntax and API

Basic C++ Syntax
Classes in C++
Object Oriented Programming (OOP) in C++
Graphics and Multimedia in C++

Those are the first few things, but you know not all programs/applications/games are made in C++ right?
Let's quickly make a list of some of the languages that games can be created in...

Assembly
C
C++
C#
Java
Eiffel, Smalltalk, Ada, etc.
Lua
Python
Unity
Flash
Javascript
Pascal
COBOL
BASIC

As you can see, it's not just a simple 'give me the information and let me become a professional' it takes people TIME, MONEY, and hard work just to get to the type of level I assume you're hoping to achieve in just a matter of weeks. Not everyone has an original idea, and not everyone is capable of making a one in a million best seller.

You should learn a basic language (Python, C, Java [at least a bit for syntax etc...]) and go from there, don't try to jump straight into a project.

Look up what Agile Programming is if you wish to do ANY programming, as it is a must for most companies now-a-days to stay in touch with both client and other workers...

Here is a link to what Agile Programming is: click here
The main point to understand from this is; unless you are a god-send for programming, you should ALWAYS have a basis for your programs outline, what you want to happen, what you input/output... etc...

I personally have a whiteboard next to my computer that I use to write my scrum (this is the general outline) for any program I write, it allows me to keep my head straight and clear of any obstacles or diversions.

Hopefully this helped.

I disagree 100% with that. That's the oldschool approach they have at unis, and that's why CS degree doesn't make you a coder. Because you don't see any correlation between pointers and youtube app

You need motivation to learn, and terminal apps are not rewarding enough to keep that motivation. Best thing is to learn by doing something you can be proud of. It's also easier to learn by solving real problems than going through all solutions without seeing problems.

Ofc you need to know the very basic concepts of programming, but you can learn that in any language, why C? C is for programming chips.

If you on Windows, i'd go with c#, and on iOS, objective-C, because they are kinda native languages for them.

Here is good series to get started with c#

Then you can look at game tuts, like

Btw, talking about scrum when someone asks where to start is bit weird, no? Scrum is for corps, flappybird sure was made without
