Learning From Chilli Posted Progress

[Nevarra]

Hey guys I'm new to these forums and c++ and I have gone and setup my computer to follow chilli along in his tutorials, I've decided to share my video as I finish one of his lessons and give my thoughts on what I took from it,

I find sharing what you have learned and trying to explain it to others helps me learn and I hope they prove helpful as well as I can see some people getting confused, well anyways here is my first video of what I took from the setup 0 with chilli thanks.

I forgot to mention In the video, I did learn about bool and the true and false and how that works, and I mention I had trouble with the v keys,

I meant to say I had trouble using the v key with adding movement, example
PutPixelUP = PutPixelUP = 100; <--- This did not come to mind for me, maybe due to not doing it enough who knows haha.

Had trouble understanding 3rd bool in cross-hair direction and how the cross-hair moved based off adding 0

Hey bro, welcome to the forums. Thanks for starting this thread, I think it's a pretty good idea.

I'm going to be watching these to maybe get some hints about what I can do to improve the tutorials. There are a few episodes that I consider 'speed bumps' where I lose a lot of people, and I want to try smoothing those out a bit. Feel free to criticize or comment on places you had trouble with, things you think could have been done better. I will take these into consideration too

I'm particular interested in how you fare with T4, T6, T9, and T14. These are the 'run enders'

No problem I've done youtube myself I got to 19k subs for Minecraft so I understand the need for others feed back, Ill do my best to criticize you till you cry like a pretty boy in jail lol

[chili]

I see lesson 4's video has gone up. I'll have to watch this tomorrow. Should be interesting...

[Nevarra]

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()

// Tell's the user there gay.
{
int a = 50
int b = 40
if (a > b);
cout << "If a is greater than b you are gay";
}


Haha just been practicing I was a little bit confused on 4 but after watching the video over and over I understand better, I found that typing the code out every time you do something and tell yourself what it does makes it stick a bit better.

- Practice over and over and know what the code is your typing
- Keep making software or apps or what ever at your level over and over

If possible when you do your videos I believe using what was learned in previous series should carry over then add some more to it,

Maybe start a goal with creating a rpg game that runs similar to "Rpg Maker" you could learn software and how to do game creation and engine creating, sure I understand that could take years,

But if you plan to do this for fun and It does not impact you besides setting a schedule I think you could grow to a very large you-tuber with in a few years, well hey its just my thoughts lol.

Maybe if he had a team and did live streams of the coding sessions with all members of team, and did the tuts over stuff they would be working on the next live stream or from previous live stream...that would rock, oh wait, he is 14 hours or something like that ahead of me...grrr.

Hey man! This is a really cool idea! I'm new to C++ and am slowly learn the curve of everything. Chili is a wonderful teacher and is not like any other Youtuber who does Programming tutorials.

What I usually do, watch his video once while coding along and once it finishes I watch again to take notes. I then practice doing particular commands over and over again and write " // " marks beside them.

And when I'm lost, here I am. Everyone is awesome and knowledgeable so it makes the learning process a lot better.

Keep up the good work, friend!

Nice good idea I also get practice from a site called sololearn there is a c++ area there too, I also have the book Vol 4 Learning c++ through game programming.

[Nevarra]

Also guys, I think we should get good at c++ then we could be his team haha

[Yumtard]

Great stuff man. Subbed and will follow along
