Eventing = Coding

[_Rave_]

I'm starting to learn how to code in college now and it's eerily similar to eventing.

Thanks baddy, I'll do well in the class now.

Are you making real code, where you don't choose elements of the script from a GUI?

nope, he's using Scratch in a college class

Anything where you create a system by combining different elements together is classified as coding by definition.

I'm using arduino where the language is based off C

C isn't similar to events at all

Lol eventing is not even close to writing a program.

Even Torquescript is not anywhere near brick eventing.
Furthermore, using CODE SNIPPETS that the IDE provides to you is not eventing.

eventing kinda works like visual basic. just a wysiwyg fake sorta coding.

You actually have to write scripts for your program to do anything useful, though. VS only helps with the visual aspects; everything technical must be done by hand.

It's a lot like it actually. The whole concept of giving a computer commands to execute is a skill in itself. I did some Lego Robotics programming before I learned text based programming, and I believe it helped a lot. It prepared me for the logic involved in writing a text based program.
