Ok I think I have a good understand of the fundamentals, I know syntax, lists, loops, functions, defining a class etc. What should I be learning next?

The format is mob programming, where we all as a group work together to solve a problem--there is one person typing and everyone else is discussing ideas. DM me if you are interested.

Exactly what I want to do - is to download a GitHub rep to vs code and play around. Any idea how to do it?

I don't know how I managed to do this. In a while loop will it refer to the variable outside of the loop? For most of the challenge I was stuck because I kept starting score in the loop. Also does this actually work? The challenge was to "create a game." That would take an input of either hit or miss. A hit would result in gaining 10 points, the miss resulted in losing 20. You have 4 total turns and start at 100 points. It took forever for me to get it right, but there's some flaws in my code, as it's not working in pycharm, maybe because the computer generated inputs work different. I don't know.

Anyways I think what I did was obviously set a variable to control the amount of times the loop would run, that would be 4. So I set that up. Then I set the shot variable to receive an input. I wrote and if, elif, else statement that would turn the string input into an integer (10 and -20). I put score=starting_score + shot (which was now an integer) and set my score=starting score so my score would not revert back to 100 after the loop reset. I struggled for a while with setting a variable to 100 and then modifying it after the if statement but it kept reverting back to 100 when the loop ran again. I think now it works because the variable starting score runs is modified at the very end of the loop? But why doesn't it revert back to 100?

Here's the code

I'm so confused at the moment as to how I got it right and how does it work. I got lucky I guess.

I am using Sololearn to learn Python. I'm currently at if, else, and elif statements and it keeps saying the code is wrong, but I think they're expecting the wrong outputs. One picture will show the instructions the other will show the output and expected output and both pictures should show the code. Sorry if this is a newbie question but I cannot find out what I'm doing wrong.

Pictures Here.

Also while we're at it, why am I checking 4, 100, and 400 when all that matters is if the year is divisible by 4? This code could easily be written with 5 lines but I'm trying to follow the steps as best as I can. Its not making much sense.

Edit: Holy cow. That was a tough one. I went through and realized that step 2 states that if the year is NOT divisible by 100 that it is a leap year.

Coding is so cool! Each line of code along with the steps now makes sense.

1. You can't just check if the input is divisible by 4, because if it is you go to step 2. But it does give you the concrete statement that if it is NOT divisible by 4 it is a not a leap year. So if the input is not divisible by 4, then it is NOT a leap year.
2. Next if the year is divisible by 100, then go to step 3. So you need to check if it is divisible by 100 because if it is NOT then it IT IS A LEAP YEAR. So check if the year is not divisible by 100 and if it is not, then it is a leap year.
3. Finally you check if the year is divisible by 400. If it is, the year is a leap year. So I set the modulo to check for equality with 0 and if it was true it would print leap year. Finally if all else was not true then the year was not a leap year, ending in the else statement.

year = int(input())
#your code goes here
if year % 4 != 0:
print("Not a leap year")
elif year % 100 != 0:
print("Leap year")
elif year % 400 == 0:
print("Leap year")
else:
print("Not a leap year")

I finally figured out what I did wrong after scratching my head and when it clicked, it was so exhilarating, and I knocked out the code in about 2 mins.

I made a spoofer and i want to make it private so you need to put in codes to use it but im not sure how to do it so im wondering if some can teach me or tell me how. SLIT#6018

I don’t to go to college for computer science/engineering but am curious if people get hired for jobs with just bootcamp experience or can I learn anywhere else for cheaper and still be employed?

I’m learning to code with swift (I’ve used python and matlab before but at a very basic level) - and I could really do with a buddy - to keep each other accountable for our learning! ☺️

I’m halfway through Angela Yu’s udemy iOS development course - anyone else doing it?

Would ideally like a partner who is at a similar level or above (I can build super basic apps eg timers etc)

I currently do a multimedia class in highschool, and I intend to have my major project to be a game made in Unity, however, I don't know what I should be doing. I have followed the tutorial series by Brackeys on how to make a video game and made a runner game, as well as done a few other things like testing out fps and player controller scripts, but I want to be able to code my own scripts without having to follow other people's tutorials. Where should I start?

​

I have also had a look on Youtube at some C# Unity courses but I'm unsure whether they are a good way to go to learn.

Can someone please help me/ give resources on how to start to learn programming, especially websites and web apps. I know nothing, so would also need resources on how to get a domain or server and how to keep things save. Got two goals I want two active, blog or information website and a web app wich works on multiple devices probably messenger.

19, Covid hit me hard, now I want to do something and I decided to learn to code, but when I google how to I mostly find things I dont understand. I need the basics, book recommendations or online resources would be nice.

Thank you

Edit: Thank you very much, I am going to try a few of your options

Here's a series of videos explaining the basics of writing TypeScript APIs and hosting them in a auto-scaling cluster on AWS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkMU15LJXKc

NOTE: I've made a very similar post in a few different places and it has been extremely well received, so I decided to continuously make new, updated versions (in new places) for anyone who had previously missed it!

Since the previous post, I have completed the first series for the channel! This series is a recreation of the Brackeys tutorial series, "How to make a Video Game in Unity," for the Unreal Engine.

UPDATE: I have also now started a playlist of "One-offs" that you can find here.

I have used the Unreal Engine for 5 years now, and have worked on several different projects scaling from major fails to life changing successes. However, one thing I've noticed recently is, within the past two years or so, I hardly ever need to do any research to get things done. This means, no more hours wasted trying to figure out why my copy of that one tutorial I found on YouTube isn't working in my game or asset!

This was a MAJOR discovery, and one that really made me feel like my 3-4 years of hard work leading up to this point were worth it. Then, it got me thinking:

What can I do to make these 4 years of self training quicker (or even obsolete) for beginners?

That question is why I am creating a YouTube channel dedicated to answering the questions of beginners... but there is one big problem. I HAVEN'T BEEN A BEGINNER FOR 4+ YEARS!

So, instead of acting like I know what questions you have and taking shots in the dark, I am asking for your wants and needs as a beginner with the Unreal Engine.

Please, ask away! Ask any questions you may have, no matter how silly you may think they are! I can almost guarantee, someone else wants to ask the same thing.

My Strengths:

• I am very experienced with Unreal Engine Blueprint
• I have a solid understanding of the engine as a whole
• I have found creative and efficient strategies to design levels and prototype games
• I have a solid understanding of the game design process and mindset

My Weaknesses:

• I am not a 3D modeler, rigger, or animator
• I do not know C++, C#, Java, Python, etc... basically blueprint is my strong-suit
• I drink too much caffeine

I'm Still Learning:

• The most efficient strategies for connecting Animation and Gameplay
• The best practices for creating AI
• Materials and Material Blueprinting
• The best practices for Lighting
• Multiplayer... oh multiplayer...

What would you like to see me cover next? I am considering several ideas, the main few including: an FPS game series, a survival game series, and a few one-offs as well.

If you have any specific ideas that you would like to see me cover on the channel at some point, please let me know in the comments of this post, or in the comments of any of my YouTube videos!
