Help With Understanding Code (im not the smartest)

hello my name is guitarpunkmasta and i really wanna learn code but everytime i start roll a ball tutorial i have this feeling im not understanding anything hes saying like all the fancy words and stuff and im basically copying code is there a site or where i can learn the fundementals of coding

 

There are probably a million places out there learn. Here are a few I have found.

https://www.devu.com/
This has a free course on learning C# along with Unity. It will start by making a project and you may again feel like you are following along, but after the prototype is finished He goes into explaining the coding much better.

http://www.taxesforcatses.com/TOC.html
Strange name, but gives a good bare bones approach to learning C# using Unity merely as a means to do the programming.

http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/csharp/csharp.html
This is based around the Windows Visual Studio, so it teaches C#, but not related to Unity. You will spend a lot of time making forms, but the coding is pretty solid.

As well as the tutorials here, which may move a bit fast if you have Zero prior experience, but are really good once you start understanding a little.

Good luck and remember persistence will pay off.

 

If you don't mind learning material that is solely focused on programming and doesn't cover Unity in any way you could try out these free ebooks. Both of them have been written for introductory programming classes.

Also, you may not believe it yet, but it really will help you to take more care with your writing. Programming is also writing, and it's writing that is very particular about capitalization and punctuation. You have to be exact. So you may as well practice being exact with everything you write — even when it's not code. These good habits will only make the coding easier.

 

Do roll a ball anyway. Then go do the scripting tutorials. Then come back and do roll a ball again. Then google every concept concept you struggle with.

Eventually it will all stick.

 

If you're willing to spend a little bit of money, I recommend you take a look at https://www.udemy.com/unitycourse/learn/v4/overview. I'm currently enrolled and I'm really enjoying it.

I work as a programmer so the coding hasn't been an issue for me, but the videos go over everything very clearly, and there's a community built around the course.

It's currently on sale for $15 AUD (so probably around $10 USD). I'm not affiliated with the makers of the course in any way.

Keep perservering and it will get easier. Good luck!

 

thank you all for the advice i have been learning stuff on http://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/ but the fractals one im stuck on so its nice to know that i have other things to do until i understand it its hard to keep doing it but i want to do it so thank you all and i will do the script tutorials and roll a ball again

 

Basically what Joe was saying is, syntax is what makes both grammar and programming work. If you don't know what a word means it's OK, just use google and look it up. That's how I learned.

Syntax just means rules for organizing words or symbols in a language. You sound pretty young, just keep it simple at first you have a lot of time to learn. But start with capitalizing all your I's and using periods, the same skills are what makes programming work.

 

yeah im gonna go back to the roll a ball because i dont understand code in any shape or form i tried doing lessons in this http://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/ but he uses alot of difficult words and i gotta say im at fractal making and i can continue but i dont understan what im writing so im gonna go back and start with roll a ball cuz atleast when i was making that i could understand what i wrote

 

It's clear you're not understanding what we are writing, either.

But good luck to you anyway!
