I've just been so busy learning all of them I haven't focused on a single one much!

So far, I've done a few things. I created some programs to randomly generate and print out some components for a homemade board game. I've also been working with some databases to simulate sports stuff. Hopefully I make something useful to actually show off!

Something useful, like... RP/sniped

No, I don't have any quotes. I'm just thinking of making an executable that parses the whole quote archive and counts the contribution of every user, so we can get a Quote Archive Leaderboard or something. :p

Hey guys,

I have been thinking about getting into game development and I realized I really need to learn coding. Does anyone have any tips on starting out and maybe what to learn first?

ARR PEE GEE?!

Anyway, you obviously know some basics of game design. If you want todo 3D, look at Unity tutorials and play with that. If 2D... well, IDK. May depend. Someone else can actually help I guess.

Well, it looks like you want to start learning a programming language. First you have to choose which language you want to learn. I don't know a whole lot about what the different languages do and such, but I suggest Java since it's supposed to be easy-ish to learn. I'm actually learning Java right now, but I've hardly got into it.
