Learning to code

Getting Started
1

I want to make a game but I don’t know how to code. Does anyone know how I can learn to code quickly?

2

There is no “quickly”, it takes time and there is a lot to learn. I have been coding for 20 years now and I am still learning every day.

You should follow this https://learn.unity.com/course/create-with-code from beginning to end if you want to get making stuff as fast as possible

Good luck! :slight_smile:

Learning to code is like learning to play the piano. There’s no way to short cut the need to practice. But don’t let that slow you down. Have fun

I aw your website for your game and I have some feedback. Maybe polish the textures as they are very rough and pixelated

Also; walk dont run.

In other words, dont set your heights on unreachable goals. Make sure the projects you work on are things you can achieve. Sometimes that might be hard to gauge (you may not know what’s hard and what’s not if you’re a complete beginner) but often its not; the more complex the gameplay (ie on a scale of pacman to a full-blown MMO or BR) the further away it is from being something anyone can tackle solo, let alone a beginner.

Have you considered thats possibly the style? Ever seen for instance valheim? :slight_smile:

I have but it seems too blurry to be the style but maybe you are right.

The issue is there’s only a limited number of skills I’m actually good at, and textures/models isn’t on that list :wink:

I can recommend artstation if you cant find what you need on the various asset stores. Lots of great talent there that can make custom art for you

I know a website with very high-quality royalty-free texture from 1080p to 8k it’s called cc0 textures

I tried some materials. But im not sure I get it right. I inverterad the roughness and inserted it as alpha in the metalness map

Nobody can be good at everything mate, not even me :smile:

I use tutorials on Pirple.com, Udemy and Zenva.com, and they’re not expensive either, Pirple.com is a fiver for Lifetime access.

Definitely the create with code that Made From Polygons posted link to is best way to get started. I have recently finished that and although there is still loads I need to learn I do have some idea how to do some game and feel I can build on that. I am attempting a car racing game now as the first tutorial learns you how to code car movement and in last part it goes through a big extra about how to make car move with forces and add a speed meter. There is plenty I don’t know what to do but I’m going to try to find on internet how to do certain things and keep going back to it to build on it. I can still do other tutorials in between to learn more.
