Re: Noob learns to code in 3 months

Today I took a break from tutorials and tried to make a dumb game on my own. The code feels like a hot mess and I've spent many confusing hours of buttonclicking. I cannot figure out how to make my ship shoot bullets the way I want it to. Right now the bullets are connected to the ships position so ...

Re: Noob learns to code in 3 months

On a brighter note the explanation in the homework made complete sense and I don't think I'll forget how to draw circles. Also I quickly figured out a way to draw the donut.

Re: Noob learns to code in 3 months

Having issues today. Realized that while the obstacles wont spawn on top of the goal, the goal may spawn on top of the obstacles. I've messed around with it for an hour or so but can't figure out how to solve this one. Dude, this thread already looks golden. 3.5 months is a reasonable goal to make a...

I am considering a future revision, maybe breaking it into 3 (or even 4) shorter videos with some more detail...
