#I need advice for...literally how to learn.

I know C#, I can say I am almost an intermediate in C#, I can understand code fairly well.

But always, my effieciency when it comes to learn something new, it's extremely low.
I really would appreciate some advice on this, I know programming but still I find myself all the time on google, googling stuff about a specific error and so on.

For the last 2 whole days I am stuck at making an U.I which represents the score, updaing using a reference from another script, but I have a hard time modifying the text from the U.I through the code.

I'm afraid that, If I'm so bad at developing a small and simple game like this, how I am supposed to do my dream game then? Or simply get a job in the Game Dev Industry so I can focus on other, productive things.

I could work all day, but it gets so frustrated, I barely achieve stuff and sometimes I work even 3-4hrs a day on this.

Don't let this discourage you, this is very common and actually a good thing

#

Even experienced devs will look up errors

#

I've used C# for like 15 years or so, and even I still look up exceptions from time to time. You can't be expected to magically have all the knowledge ever

#

And there's two ways you can go about it, when you inevitably do hit errors:

Either 1) you ask someone else
or 2) you google it

and 2 is the better choice, because it means you're able to do things on your own. Not having to rely on everyone else all the time is a good thing, it means you can survive and problem solve with a little research

#

As with anything it just takes practice. It's daunting to create something, even something small, if it's the first time you've done it. But the more you do it, the easier it gets and the faster you get at it
