@OP

Many times you have posted questions here and not once have you received a coherent or serious reply. Don't you think it's time to find another forum? TinyChan is effectively just a platform for people to worship King Kimble anyway.

What about my replies? I posted links to the books he should download, I think I said that he needed about 500 hours of study.

He is a Nigger. You could give him a four year scholarship to the MIT computer science program and at the end of it he will not be able to write Hello World in BASIC.

@625,721 (KING Kimble !!aAnZjs6Upl) Hi king-ble. Last time i recall tiny chan did gave me coherent answers on tech stuff. Well maybe i will.
@625,725 (Marsden William "Bill" Miller)
There is alot of computer book...

@625,729 (D)

Your problem is that you want to immediately start programming AI multiplayer servers. This is like trying to learn calculus when you don't know how to count to 10.

If you quit being a Nigger and read a beginning Java book you might get somewhere in a year or two. But you wont because you are a Nigger. A Nigger doesn't want to learn.

Oh yeah... i got those books already...i may not be coding champion but i know this thingis an entirely different topic on its own. I need something more "gamedev" in it.
For practice since i got bored with the more software oriented stuff and in abit of rush...

i got java already and writing hello world dont help writing games...

I have a question for OP. Do you know how to program? Meaning, do you know how to spend 8 hours solving a problem, and successfully solving that problem?

·Anonymous E — 4.2 years ago, 14 minutes later, 16 hours after the original post[T] [B] #625,741

I'll give you a programming challenge. You are given a file, which you must open. The file consists of comma separated variables and there are a million or so numbers in the file, all separated by commas. You must get all the numbers and find the frequency of each number in the file. Then you must print out a nice looking graphic containing a table or chart or graph showing the distribution.

Can you do this? Yes or no answer please. "Maybe" means no.

@625,740 (E)
if its one line hello world in c# or just any modern language, sure, i have done that. probably takes an hour. now what to do with that 7 hour except looking for more books in anonymous textboard....

@previous (E)
thats not gamedev, no i wont do it. i can but i just wont do it. and if you start saying its gamedev, you need to get some real medication...

·Anonymous D — 4.2 years ago, 35 minutes later, 18 hours after the original post[T] [B] #625,745

Okay we have all come to the conclusion that you cannot program.

@previous (D)
And i have concluded that you are good at wasting time and making bad of important threads so you need to start posting useful books and links.

Hey OP, I suggest you go to Udemy.com and purchase the course 100 days of python bootcamp. You'll need a laptop/desktop and enough data/wifi to watch a number of videos. It's debatable whether it's worth it at the normal price (around $100) but Udemy typically gives a 90% discount for people who haven't purchased before. I'm doing it now, I'm on day 3 so if you have questions I may be able to help. Good luck if you decide to do it. Obviously you'll need to do 100 days (breaks are allowed) and a few hours for each day. Good luck if you decide to do it.

There are a number of videos on the course on Youtube. Note that 100 days of python is not the same as 100 days of code which is a Twitter hashtag for motivating people to learn programming, both Python and other languages.

The course has a few games that are developed, obviously I haven't done them yet. They're in the days 80-95 range.

> i got java already and writing hello world dont help writing games...
This attitude is the reason you have never produced (and most likely never will produce) a game. You have to learn to walk before you can run.
