The immense pain that is *coding*

Posted by RosieUV - February 20th, 2022


I have been using Scratch since i was 7, tried Python 3 when i was 9 (but didn't do much in it as it's mainly just for text only games and crap) at some point learned HTML and CSS and created some basic ass websites (literally just words but in rainbow colours) tried Pygame when i was 13 and quit after spending a month on trying to make a basic walking thing (the amount of reddit posts i made god damm) and now currently I'm trying to learn GML.


The problem of Scratch, a visual block based coding language, being my main from the start is i constantly always think in the logic of Scratch, plus i don't think logically at all means trying to learn any text based coding language almost impossible.


Scratch has it's limitations and can't be used professionally, but when you only know how to code in that specific language it creates problems. I have to rely on subreddits so much and even then i get almost nowhere. People would respond yes, but if you can barley read what they're trying to say because it's so sophisticated and technical then you get nowhere.


Tutorial do exist and I do follow them but it seems no matter how up to date the video is, no matter how clearly it's explained; I still somehow screw up. Most of the time there would be no error, it just wouldn't work the way I want it to. Linking back to the paragraph on subreddits, a similar thing happens there. I'll do what they say and for some reason it just never works and they have to go through their code trying to figure out if they made a mistake.


I want to to coding but it's like asking a penguin to fly, the only way it will is by someone yeeting it across.

It's so god damm annoying.

I'm pretty content with using scratch but, finding a good ACTUAL coding aplication/website must be pretty hard.

yea, i'm trying to figure out something in GML which I know could easily work in scratch, I basically have to relearn everything
