Heyoo, I'm REALLY new to the whole idea of scripting/coding, I've watched a few youtube tutorials to get the hang of certain words or commands, but I seriously want to know the best way to learn scripting (for a begginer)
I would appreciate any help or advice in general !
(sorry, none of the tags fit the problem)

First of all, you need to know why you want to code, as it is litterally commiting to learning a new language, and, unlike languages like english, german and french that looks kinda similiar grammatically, its something completely different.
Once you decided to learn coding, the best way is to:
- decide on a project to make, simple, but not too simple. Also should be expandable. Like a simple gameloop that can be build upon.
-begin small: don’t expect to build advanced and large systems as the first thing. Just do some stuff and see if it works. If it doesn’t, try to understand why. Don’t just go to an ai or something and copy paste code, that doesn’t teach you anything.
- Read documentation or ask in a forum if there is anything you’re uncertain of. Or, get a mentor that can teach you scripting.
-repeat this process, expand your game. Also, don’t expect to finish all your ideas. Especially not as a solo dev.
- share: go to forums, get feedback, learn neat tricks to speed up and enhance development.
As i said, its a lot but i believe this is the best and most correct way to learn. Do random stuff. Don’t stick to tutorials, use them as a ressource. Learn code structure. If there is something you’re uncertain of: ask ai, not for code, for solutions. Try implementing them yourself and learn from your mistakes. Cliché, i know, but true.
Damn thats alot more than i intended to write
