Tfw you realize you are too retarded to code
I can't relate to that
this is why we're on Jow Forums
Define retarded? What is your goal?
You probably tried it wrong.
There are bunch of retards that think that force feeding programming crap into their minds will make em program, but that's not how this shit works.
You have to HAVE FUN with it, start with some retard simple language like basic, or download shenzen i/o.
HAVE FUN until your brain learn how to create the routines you need.
After that, all the details of a programming language will just be "shortcuts to make the shit easier".
I know. I won't even try because my brain is so numb from being a neet all these years.
That's the point of this board.
The point of this board is for Jow Forums and /v/ to make shitty threads over and over again
>tfw you find programming easy but everything else isn't
You're not retarded user. Our brains are like rubber bands. Some have to stretch more to reach the same level.
>learn a programming language
>don't know what I want to do with it
Interesting take user. I'll remember to have fun when studying next time :3
This.
However I think that Garry's mod, Space Engineers or even Love2D/Unity would be a better pick than Shenzen I/O. Zachtronics games are more about using actual skills in an esoteric environment than experimenting with programming.
know that feel. The other day I attempted to make a Tetris clone from scratch, without looking up anything on Google. I spent over an hour thinking about how to do the pieces and I couldn't really think of anything and I didn't even manage to write a single line of code. I gave up, maybe I'll try it again soon but I'm lacking some kind of basic brain function or something. I just don't get how to 'think' in code. When I'm brainstorming, I don't even write pseudo-code, I just write english sentences like "do this, then do that" but can never translate it into code.

Been this way since a child, not that I learned to program as an 8 year old, because I was shit at everything. Excelled somewhat in maths/science/English and enjoyed other subjects like history/philosophy but never really managed to be anything better than average. Come GCSEs I was the only person not struggling in my computing lessons, got A* on every test, did my A-Levels and left to get a job in the reel wurld. Unfortunately, I'm still shit at just about everything that isn't fixing computers/making software... Feels gud tho :->
?what????????????????????????
>?????????
?
Don't be hard on yourself user. I'm no Albert Einstein but I still manage to make programs both as a hobby and for a living.
Try learning the basics and really enforcing it into your mindset, do something like Scratch/Small Basic/PASCAL to get started. Then write your ideas out on paper, do some pseudo code/flow charts. I still do it this way to this day whenever I can't program something straight away!
you have to do many little games looking at other peoples source code before you can do it on your own. you have to be patient.
>>tfw you realize you are too retarded to code
Pretty common. I guess it's kind of the same with any subject that requires some sort of 'creative thought'. I find stuff like pic attached help me a lot or using *nix to steal other people's ideas and write them own way for fun.
I think I know the basics. I took a programming class and got an A but all the assignments were extremely watered-down stuff and I never really learned much from them. It's basically impossible for me to code anything original, I basically have to just copy/paste shit on stackoverflow which does exactly what I need it to do. I really hate that feeling of copying and pasting, I want to understand it on my own, be able to build shit on my own. I think my IQ is just too low.
I know how that feels, luckily I learned that when I was like 13 or 14 so I didn't waste my teenage years coding, but watching a decade of anime instead
It was worth it
same
I just make stuff on rpgmaker now
i made chess from scratch it was pretty easy but its full of spaghetti code. i just started programming again but i remember when i first started i wanted to build a bit torrent client well i wanted to download some pdfs but i told myself i wont download them until i build hte client myself ot download them. motivated me a bit but fuck i didnt finish that project. really all i did was learn how to open read magnet files and request information from the server about who had the file. i would kinda send them clients some messages but get weird shit back and never progressed. realized i needed to learn more about huffman trees or something like that.
idk im starting slowly doing challegnes but i just spent like an hour making a roman numeral reader and it was programmed very badly so ifeel im just shit still.
my problem is i can solve problems but not in a sensible way i get hte solution but my code will be shit compared to others.
Can 105 IQ learn to code?
When the fuck are real brain enhancers coming out? Biological, digital, IDGAF. Fuck ethics, as long as no one has died or gotten cancer or a rotted out brain in six months and it works, I'll sign on the dotted line right now.
you can probably do simple stuff, unless you really are a proper retard. no matter how good of a programmer you are, you'll most likely keep seing people better than you until you're in your 40s
You can probably grasp the basics. Go ahead and give it a try:
learnpython.org

No thanks after seeing the creator I dont feel like using it.
Good code is usually a product of planning and rewriting.
You can find similar intros for other languages. Find one that appeals to you and try it.
I can only do procedural programming
object-oriented is so convoluted I'm unable to adapt to it (I was taught C++)
brainlet I am and have come to accept
The problem isn't you, it's OOP. It just doesn't make sense.
It's a meme now, but Roblox got me into scripting in middle school. Messing around with other people's stuff and modifying the Lua scripts was fun back in 08-09. By the time I stopped playing people were making full screen UIs for their shitty tycoon maps.
Jesus user that image is really good thanks mate
I already know how to code, C and C++ are the two languages I am most familiar with. The issue is that although I understand the grammar of the language, I sometimes find myself struggling with the task of PROGRAMMING itself. I have been trying to do my own sorting algorithm but it has proven more difficult than I thought.

finding a job is hell
what is so convoluted about:
Apple* to_apple = new apple(red,crisp,tasty);
an object is just a structure which contains different types of data, this structure is INSTANTIATED (a copy is made basically) and stored in memory.
to_apple->GetColor();
to_apple->GetConsistency();
to_apple->GetTaste()
you use the pointer to the object to use the object, e.g. getting its properties or calling its functions etc.

Nigga making a game is the hardest part of programming, especially fucking tetris of all things when you're a beginner with no programming experience. Don't let yourself down, you made the mistake of starting with something out of your league. Start by learning the actual language, making small programs like some boring math ones. You'll have to learn the tools before you start working on something big.
You can't program because you're trying to learn from other people's anecdotes on how they learned, so it doesn't for you. The obvious solution to this, is seek out material that is based on evidenced based teaching, meaning it is proven statistically to be successful in teaching this skill.
This is an Accelerated Intro to CompSci. cs.brown.edu
The book forces you to actively learn/think while you are reading the material.
The lecture videos notice he is constantly stopping asking students to solve something (which you should try yourself, even if you have idea)
The assignments some of the things may be impossible tasks, or look extremely complicated but be simple to do. This again is proven to work, teaching programming and problem solving. Making you think for yourself.
The language is specially designed for the course with minimal syntax pyret.org
See you in 3 months when you shitpost in /dpt/ with us
you're not alone user
we will make it
What social skills do you need to sit on TopTal all day and write features for AirBnB shitty software at $30/hr? Go take a 3 month vacation to the cheapest city, like Tbilisi, Georgia. Your weird social skills will be excused for language barrier. Return later and get a real job.
That's barely OOP. You can easily achieve the same with regular procedural programming.
most i can do is shit out a php website that kinda works.
Bro's is it really all about finding and combining shit on stackoverflow and modifying/improving it?
Based quads of truth bringing tears to my eyes. ROBLOX was so good but it became bloated and shit and filled with members-only exclusive benefits, just like most new (nu) things. Finobe is trying to revive old 2012 ROBLOX but they're sekrit klub faggots
perfect for javascript
I am only too retarded to code Java, PHP or Javascript
Everything else, like Haskell or Ocaml I could code easily
over-verbose, committee-designed, unsoundly typed obsolete crap
yes, idiot-infested humanity still cannot produce anything better (except, perhaps, Swift)
Javascript is for sub-100 IQ. Java is for

It was only a basic example, of course it was not intended to be a real functional program. You are pathetic, get a life loser.
that isn't a problem with you or the language, it just takes time to understand other peoples codebases. You can't expect to take a few glances and immediately understand everything.
You have to start small, find small bugs or solve existing ones. Get to know the maintainers, ask for help if you get stuck.
