When you say programming has to be taught, do you include being self taught?

- jawr 13y agoDefinitely agree with this. I learnt to program with a lot of trial and error.. no screencasts or online workshops. Also - I haven't actually watched the screencast, but looking at the text the virtualenv setup seems very wrong.
- Widdershin 13y agoEmbarrassingly enough, I learnt to program in Game Maker when I was pretty young. I still remember the day when it clicked what variables were :P
- qu4z-2 13y agoDon't be embarrassed. You've got to start somewhere.
- krapp 13y agoGame Maker is fun, I still play around with it now and then.
- Widdershin 13y agoI still consider Game Maker to have the best standard library for actually making 2D games of any engine I've encountered.
- krapp 13y agoIt is really quite good at what it does, and it's an easy way of building quick and dirty .exes too. I do wish knowing GML was good for something somewhere else though. Or that it used another language like Python for its scripting.
- Widdershin 13y agoNothing would make me happier than being able to use Python with Game Maker's functionality.
