Trump is gonna throw a temper tantrum

We’re married.

Thanks, ruby was another language I saw in the thread popping a few times, the first one being python. I I was told a few things python can be good for, can you give me a few examples of good uses for ruby just to have a vague idea?

My main focus is to learn a programming language, I tend to work better when I know I can do something fun and making games seemed like as good a goal as any other since I do play games a lot. I feel like the satisfaction of being able to see my sprites move would be an incentive, but it’s definitely not my main end goal, just a nice side effect.

Thank you for your post, before this thread I thought that all the C named languages (c, c++ and c#) were at least similar but it looks like it’s not the case.

I knew they are different but I also assumed they’re at least similar, is that a wrong assumption? Will learn one make little difference if I learn another after?

That’s interesting how for some people the same languages can be the opposite. Maybe I’ll start with one and if it goes poorly I’ll try the opposite side.

Thank you very much for the post and the good luck :) Python does seem to be the most recommended language in the thread so it’s likely I’ll go for that, I’ll take a loot.

I heard about pygame, I was hopeful but oh well. I also heard about godot but I didn’t know if it was similar to something else.

Thank you, it’s pretty encouraging to consider that skills transfer relatively easy if I do decide to move onto something else, it’s not something I considered.

I would also like to emphasize the existence of a solid, free IDE like Visual Studio Community Edition or VS Code, because it can make a lot of things easier - especially when you’re just starting out.

Could you explain this part a bit more? I’m not sure I understand.

I heard that about learning a second one from other people too, and I think I heard this applies to languages in general, not just programming, but “people languages” too if that makes sense. Thank you for the suggestion mate, I’ll definitely consider the book.
