Getting into Coding/Scripting/Whatever

[heedicalking]

i wouldnt waste time learning a bunch of other languages first. maybe just the basics of one. its not like you need to "prepare" for torquescript or anything

i started with torquescript and it DID kinda mess me up later down the road with C++ and whatnot, but basically it was a good brain activity.
i think any language is good in that sense, regardless of which one you do first (as long as it's not a baby language like batch or something, let's not even consider that a language).
logic, inference, creativity, and rationality. qualities that you should have and develop to be good at any programming/scripting/coding/anything.

i think, for me, mostly it was just fun to have something to challenge my brain a bit and have a neat end result. (problem is it's harder to challenge it now and i lack sufficient inspiration to try so i end up not actually doing much anything anymore :c)

this is why i'm confident about setro2 coding, maybe it'll help him develop a bit of logic and whatnot, and he'll be a bit less dumb (sorry, setro, it's the truth but that's fine i guess). granted that he actually tries.

Couldn't agree more, actually

[.:FancyPants:.]

i know enough to do very simple things with some languages but overall i can't get what i want to work WORKING.

So, Torque ain't horrible, just not the best.

So I don't need to learn anything else; I can just dive right into it?

that is what i did

[Joffrey]

that is what i did

And it worked for you?

I don't see why these kinds of topics are needed. If you want to learn, you will learn
That's literally all there is to it

torquescript works just fine dammit

on the other hand it has countless limitations that prevent people from doing cool stuff.

Blockland's version of Torque Script has broken comments.

What do.

Why did he do that anyway?

Badspot did dat? Is that why I can't use /**/?

I made this topic so that I can figure out what to learn. I do my research before I dive into something.

Order of languages I learned
>HTML (if you count it)
>TorqueScript
>PHP
>Python
>C++
>JavaScript
The way I wish I did it

Go ahead and "dive in"

[Joffrey]

Go ahead and "dive in"

Is this what you did?

Did it work for you?
