#how to learn java script

[nexus-nebulae]

i think at this point minecraft can be considered a game development engine in itself right

#even in just the vanilla game it's easy to make games #and as you learn redstone and weird technical stuff the amount you can do expands #and then you can start to add the in-game commands to do even more fun shit and there's where you have most adventure maps and stuff #and THEN if you add datapacks and mods you get even MORE fun shit to do #and like. honestly minecraft is genuinely a REALLY GOOD jumping off point for learning to develop games and things #learning the in-game commands can give you some good beginner java coding knowledge #cause the commands are basically just slightly simplified java script #and learning how the language works from the commands can help with actually learning java properly #and then like- because the game engine is also a playable game from the outset it's SUPER easy to playtest compared to from-scratch games #because you don't have to worry about things like making sure the fucking floor has collision lmao

Visual Studio vs Visual Studio Code

Today, I want to talk about a topic that often confuses many developers and me including when I first started: the difference between Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code. Similar names, and the same logo shape but what makes the two different? Let's talk about it~! ✨

Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code (often abbreviated as VS and VS Code, respectively) are two distinct development environments both made by Microsoft, and both aimed at providing developers with the tools they need to build cool applications!

Visual Studio

Visual Studio is a full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) that helps people create other computer programs. It has a lot of different tools that can help with things like writing code, finding mistakes in code, testing programs, and putting the finished program out for other people to use.

Visual Studio can work with different programming languages like C#, VB.NET, F# and C++. It might take some time to learn how to use Visual Studio because it has a lot of features, but once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to create really cool and complex computer programs with it.

Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code is a lightweight, open-source code editor that provides developers with a customizable environment for building and debugging applications. It supports a wide range of programming languages, including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and Java.

The interface of VS Code is intuitive and straightforward, making it easy for new users to start working with it quickly. Very beginner-programmer-friendly, in my opinion.

Key Differences

Visual Studio is an IDE

VS Code is a code editor

Visual Studio is primarily designed for building large-scale applications

VS Code is geared towards web development, scripting, and smaller projects

Visual Studio has an extensive range of extensions and add-ons available to expand its capabilities

VS Code has a vast library of free and open-source extensions available in its marketplace, making it a flexible and cost-effective option

Visual Studio Code is known for its lightweight and speedy performance. It consumes fewer resources than Visual Studio, making it an excellent option for developers who are working on lower-end machines

All this info!! Which to pick for my next project?

It depends on what you're making and how big and complicated it is! 🤔

If you're making something really big project, you'll probably want to use Visual Studio because it has a lot of tools to help you. But if you're making something smaller or working on a website, then Visual Studio Code might be better for you.

At the end of the day, it's up to you to decide which one you prefer! 😉👍🏾

That's all and thank you for reading! Hope you learn something new! 💻🙌🏾💗

Codetober Day #2

2. What programming languages do you know?

Depends on how we wanna define "know" but here are the ones I at least know the basics of:

-Python - my very first coding class was in this, then I proceeded to not use it again for a long time until recently when I tried my hand at writing a Discord bot for Pathfinder/DnD 3.5 -Perl - Please do not ask me to write anything in this. I did one semester and proceeded to never use it again. -MIPS - same as Perl -C++ - I'm not great with this one but my first college decided this was a great place to go once we learned Python. I hadn't used it in a long time unfortunately, till I tried to pick up Unreal Engine -Java - After leaving college #1 and a bit of community college, I first learned Java. This is what I mainly use in my 9-5 work since all of my corporate positions have required it, along with... -SQL - I picked this up in college as well and while I went a pretty long time after graduating without using it, I DO know how to do some scripting and queries. -Javascript - I didn't use this much initially until my first big boy job changed my role to that of a full-stack developer as opposed to a software developer. -C# - Aside from a single semester in college, I actually didn't use this all that much till my most recent job. They are moving away from it and towards Java, so this works out. I also used this to try to learn programming in Unity. Outside of the professional stuff... -LUA - I used to be a HUGE WoW fan and stopped playing around Legion. Before that, I aspired to write add-ons for the game and found out this was the scripting language for it. -GML - Aka "GameMaker Language," I tried my hand at this engine as well when I was bouncing around trying to see which engine was a good fit.

Preparation for the study

Hello guys!

Well, I've been doing a course of java in the past week or so, but I haven't been tracking and I want to keep a progress to be more sure I am in a good pace and will end it (kinda) faster.

So today I am going to pick a schedule and turn it into a habit, also I am going to organize how I will spend my time studying. I am learning Java (still on the very beginning heelp). So far, have made into 55 of 541 videos in the Java course, 77 hours of lessons and there's also practice and some challenges to do. I don't think I am able to get it done if I don't put my effort into being aware of my time, so my biggest flaw here is to keep focus and avoid procrastination at all my costs.

The course abt java has:

-Fundamentals of Java

-Programming oriented object

-Functional programming

-Mysql

-Mongodb

-Spring boot

-Javafx

-JPA

-Hibernate

And when I end this course I will continue with the ""sequel"", my point is to keep learning so I can get a job at the field and move on into being able to buy more books and keep this looping going. As the obsessive I am, I'm fully engaged in tech obviously, so my plans much depends on learning about it, and then how to make everything in my life about it too so... Yeah it will be fun, and a big stress probably. Hope I don't burn my head doing that.

Also, I bought last week a few other courses, cuz they were for such a good price I couldn't say no. Still haven't picked any of them to study, but, respectively they are:

-HTML and Css basics

-Terminal for beginners

-Gnu nano

-Shell script advanced

-Learn to compile

-VPS Server

-Create your own package manager

-Vagrant

-Slackware essentials

-Darkweb

Those are some topics I am interested in, even knowing a little about one here and there, will be a great challenge to advance my comprehension. I need to find time to put them into schedule. Wish me luck everybody. Maybe I am getting too overwhelmed to do everything I picked? Of course, but fuck it I can handle - just not at the same time obviously, sometime I will get there I just need to be patient with myself and keep consistency at check.

Gosh, was a long post huh? I will say later on my plan to get it all done! Until them, thank you for staying with me.

How did you get started with Python? I'm trying to learn but am kinda stuck in tutorial hell

kind of a boring answer, sadly, with python in particular it was part of an optional IT course i took in 8th grade

programming as a whole? around 2 years before that i learned some java through minecraft modding, i never made anything like super groundbreaking but with the help of my mom (degree in some combination of IT and electrical engineering? and since then having worked as a programmer) i knew what values to change and what parts to copypaste over from existing code well enough to e.g. add in a very basic new passive mob

tutorial-wise hmmm

you know actually one thing that could help bring in the motivation is making it more personal to you, like learning through making small things you know will be useful to you personally, e.g. for me those have mainly been music-related so stuff like screwing around with MP3 metadata or sorting files by loudness or simple audio effects or just small things i've needed in general like a browser extension to hide irrelevant search results or the countless times i've needed to calculate something and the best way to do so having been just to write a python script to do it

the satisfaction of making stuff is so much greater when you can actually see the practical use in front of you (or at least that's how it is for my ADHD "out of sight out of mind" brain), like sure there are all the usual things you make while learning a programming language but those don't really become useful tools on their own, and maybe for some having small projects that do become useful tools works better than doing the traditional ones

Hey mate,

I really REALLY enjoy seeing your work (I believe your game is among one of the most unique) and because of that I wanted to ask: what engine do you use? You must have some really specialised engine for such a game. Thanks in advance mate and keep working on the game :).

Hi there,

Thank you for the kind words! I am currently using Gamemaker Studio 1 (which is extremely outdated now and cannot be purchased anymore)! Not to worry, though, as GMS 2 will do everything that GMS 1 does.

To be honest with you, there really isn't anything special about GMS 1, besides being easy enough to learn. The "magic", so to speak, comes from the game logic and graphics/sound display that any game engine will let you do. There are so many more technically impressive games than mine, as you'll find they're developed in everything under the sun including Godot, GMS2, Java, Unity, Unreal, and even purposefully limited engines like Pico-8.

The code and scripts I have written are definitely purpose-built for this game, but the beauty of an engine is that a good one is flexible to do whatever you want, as long as you know how to go about it.

If you'd like more specific information about how I've developed any aspect of my game, feel free to send in more asks and I'll go into as much (or as little) detail as you'd like!

i’m bad at questions but i’m excited for ur game! i hope i’ll be able to play it :) how long have you been making games? are u self taught and what did u use to learn?

Thank you so much !! The free demo of the game will be in the form of both an itch.io web build (works on most OS/browsers) and a Windows download. The full game will probably be download only and unfortunately probably on Windows exclusively because RPGMaker MV games no longer work on newer Mac updates. So unless I get programming assistance that’s what’s up

As for how long I’ve been making games - I work in the game industry and I’ve worked on quite a few games w small/medium teams, albeit mostly on the art side of things. Having a lot of experience with the development process means I have a pretty good idea of how to handle scope & pipeline stuff

My experience in like… actual game design/development outside of me just fucking around in RPGMaker VX Ace as a high schooler and taking like. Suuuuuper basic Java, unity, and level design classes. mostly includes co-creating the game jam game Feed 15 Fish and assisting with game design / level design stuff for the wayneradiotv Minecraft charity stream mod (im responsible for the idea of the Pig Scare among couple other things)

I guess as far as game design goes you could probably say I’m primarily self taught, but that goes with the caveat of like. My game is a visual novel/adventure game, mostly reading dialogue and making occasional dialogue choices, traversing an environment to progress the game, a couple sorta-puzzles. I’d say the cloooosest equivalent I can think of to the game’s setup is To The Moon if you’ve played that, although id say my game’s gameplay design is a bit more…like, intentional? But narrative/script is absolutely the most important part of my game, whole thing is built around that. I think knowing programming fundamentals (you don’t really have to program in RPGMaker but knowing the logic is SUPER helpful) + being really really dedicated to building around scope + being halfway decent at writing are the most important skills for the kind of game I’m making. I think the first 2 speak for themselves but like….script writing ?? I think learning that has just been like. Idk. At some point I started becoming really fascinated with the intricacies of sentence structure and wording when making jokes both IRL and online, and I think getting good at economy of wording + comedic structure + always implying shit allowed me to me gain strong instincts for writing both individual lines and larger narratives

#LOL this turned out really long. thanks for the question!

[wa-royal-tea]

i have a question for you! do you know of a good tutorial for creating custom pages (ie character pages)? I've been trying to create a character page for my simblr but tumblr won't let me bc of java script/html errors -__-

Heyya!!!

I didn't make my own custom pages bcs I can't code to save my life 😭I use the themes I found from @/theme-hunter and just customise it according to what I want. If you can't save your character page bcs of java script/html errors, that might be bcs tumblr has changed the way how custom pages are being used. You can email tumblr's support team and ask them to re-enable javascript for the blog that you want and then try editing the page using the custom codes again. You can learn more about the re-enabling the javascript/html codes here :)

I hope this helps! ❤

Normally I just post about movies but I'm a software engineer by trade so I've got opinions on programming too.

Apparently it's a month of code or something because my dash is filled with people trying to learn Python. And that's great, because Python is a good language with a lot of support and job opportunities. I've just got some scattered thoughts that I thought I'd write down.

Python abstracts a number of useful concepts. It makes it easier to use, but it also means that if you don't understand the concepts then things might go wrong in ways you didn't expect. Memory management and pointer logic is so damn annoying, but you need to understand them. I learned these concepts by learning C++, hopefully there's an easier way these days.

Data structures and algorithms are the bread and butter of any real work (and they're pretty much all that come up in interviews) and they're language agnostic. If you don't know how to traverse a linked list, how to use recursion, what a hash map is for, etc. then you don't really know how to program. You'll pretty much never need to implement any of them from scratch, but you should know when to use them; think of them like building blocks in a Lego set.

Learning a new language is a hell of a lot easier after your first one. Going from Python to Java is mostly just syntax differences. Even "harder" languages like C++ mostly just mean more boilerplate while doing the same things. Learning a new spoken language in is hard, but learning a new programming language is generally closer to learning some new slang or a new accent. Lists in Python are called Vectors in C++, just like how french fries are called chips in London. If you know all the underlying concepts that are common to most programming languages then it's not a huge jump to a new one, at least if you're only doing all the most common stuff. (You will get tripped up by some of the minor differences though. Popping an item off of a stack in Python returns the element, but in Java it returns nothing. You have to read it with Top first. Definitely had a program fail due to that issue).

The above is not true for new paradigms. Python, C++ and Java are all iterative languages. You move to something functional like Haskell and you need a completely different way of thinking. Javascript (not in any way related to Java) has callbacks and I still don't quite have a good handle on them. Hardware languages like VHDL are all synchronous; every line of code in a program runs at the same time! That's a new way of thinking.

Python is stereotyped as a scripting language good only for glue programming or prototypes. It's excellent at those, but I've worked at a number of (successful) startups that all were Python on the backend. Python is robust enough and fast enough to be used for basically anything at this point, except maybe for embedded programming. If you do need the fastest speed possible then you can still drop in some raw C++ for the places you need it (one place I worked at had one very important piece of code in C++ because even milliseconds mattered there, but everything else was Python). The speed differences between Python and C++ are so much smaller these days that you only need them at the scale of the really big companies. It makes sense for Google to use C++ (and they use their own version of it to boot), but any company with less than 100 engineers is probably better off with Python in almost all cases. Honestly thought the best programming language is the one you like, and the one that you're good at.

Design patterns mostly don't matter. They really were only created to make up for language failures of C++; in the original design patterns book 17 of the 23 patterns were just core features of other contemporary languages like LISP. C++ was just really popular while also being kinda bad, so they were necessary. I don't think I've ever once thought about consciously using a design pattern since even before I graduated. Object oriented design is mostly in the same place. You'll use classes because it's a useful way to structure things but multiple inheritance and polymorphism and all the other terms you've learned really don't come into play too often and when they do you use the simplest possible form of them. Code should be simple and easy to understand so make it as simple as possible. As far as inheritance the most I'm willing to do is to have a class with abstract functions (i.e. classes where some functions are empty but are expected to be filled out by the child class) but even then there are usually good alternatives to this.

Related to the above: simple is best. Simple is elegant. If you solve a problem with 4000 lines of code using a bunch of esoteric data structures and language quirks, but someone else did it in 10 then I'll pick the 10. On the other hand a one liner function that requires a lot of unpacking, like a Python function with a bunch of nested lambdas, might be easier to read if you split it up a bit more. Time to read and understand the code is the most important metric, more important than runtime or memory use. You can optimize for the other two later if you have to, but simple has to prevail for the first pass otherwise it's going to be hard for other people to understand. In fact, it'll be hard for you to understand too when you come back to it 3 months later without any context.

Note that I've cut a few things for simplicity. For example: VHDL doesn't quite require every line to run at the same time, but it's still a major paradigm of the language that isn't present in most other languages.

Ok that was a lot to read. I guess I have more to say about programming than I thought. But the core ideas are: Python is pretty good, other languages don't need to be scary, learn your data structures and algorithms and above all keep your code simple and clean.

Are we no longer able to choose the Gender of the LIs? For me, it's only showing 3 options, all male, female or mixed( which I'm assuming sets them). But I know on the intro post you said regardless of our sexuality we'd choose their genders as we meet.

Or will we still be able to set them? Idk when you'll see this lol, I'll probably get my answer in a minute once I start playing. But if you happen to respond, Still Thank You.

Ahh yes! I was really ambitious when I made this or planned too. Essentially I didn’t know how hard Java scripting this would be and making sure it’s all organized. I ended up joining a twine discord server for help 😭😂 but after meeting some really helpful individuals I was instructed because of my lack of knowledge in the area this being my first IF that it would be better for me to do a set of either one, then a mixed route, because the coding and work behind making them all pickable was a monster. So instead of killing my brain and making the story suffer I opted for to continue on with it this way. 🦋

P.S. I’m still learning everyday so if I ever do get it down pack I’ll definitely update it 🩵

I go from “I am a great computer scientist I am one of the best I know exactly what I’m doing and how it works” to “I haven’t the faintest clue what programming or computers are” every time I check your blog. Man what in the hell kinda fuckin wizardry is going on in here?

So. When I was like 7 or 8 I saw a Foxtrot comic in which Jason wrote a program for waking up and handed a printout of it to his dad, who said "Son, I just wanted a cup of coffee", to which Jason replied "Then why'd you ask for Java?" Anyway, I didn't know shit about programming at that point, but the stuff on the page that Jason printed made a lot of intuitive sense to me ("It's just instructions, huh? Like If this, then do that, I get it!") and I ran with it, writing a series of "Program[s] For The Day" in a little language that I invented on the fly, with inputs and outputs (my own sensory organs and limbs) declared at the top, subroutines (for things like waking up, getting out of bed, getting dressed, goofing off and playing), etc.

I got a lego mindstorms kit when I was maybe 9 or 10, and that little drag-and-drop programming interface was the first actual code I wrote (for some definition of code; it's logically isomorphic). A few years later I started learning more traditional programming languages, starting with Game Maker's little scripting language and then diving straight into C++ when I was maybe like… 13 or 14.

I received a copy of Gödel, Escher, Bach as a gift sometime in high school, and had read most of it before I graduated. The summer before my freshman year of college I worked through a fair amount of Hacking: The Art of Exploitation as well, learning a lot of C in the process of learning a little bit of low-level hacking.

So I went into my computer science degree already knowing a pretty fair amount of base material, not really expecting to be all that interested in the theory side of things and more in it for the practical programming stuff, but then I very quickly discovered that the basics of the theory was basically just the content of Gödel, Escher, Bach and it was like the veil was lifted from my soul. Devoured as many theory classes as I could, both in CS and in more traditional mathy subjects (as long as it was algebra and not analysis).

After I graduated from college I did computer security and program analysis research for several months, and more generally I've tried to continue the same kind of learning I did in college. I still have all of my old textbooks, and I've acquired a pretty hefty number of others (physical and digital) since I graduated.

I'm now 27. I graduated almost four years ago. I've been pretty thoroughly entrenched in — obsessed with, one might be tempted to say — computers and computer science for a solid two decades, over two thirds of my life.

Now, I think it's probably fair to say that I got started on this shit much earlier in life than most of the people who find themselves on a similar path. Seems like learning to program a computer before the age of 10 is unusual among people who know how to program a computer. I was a weird kid.

Pretty sure, though, that it's 100% achievable to get to a similar point as wherever the fuck I'm at regardless of when you started heading that direction. Just takes time and, if you wanna get there extra quickly, probably some mania as well.

All of which is to say: keep going, friend! The path of a wizard is long, and regardless of where you might be on it, the only way to progress is to keep walking and keep learning :3
